Agreement of impersonal pronouns

REMEMBER:

In all patterns, there must be agreement of impersonal pronouns in a sentence.

Remember that for formal writing, it is necessary to continue using the impersonal pronoun one throughout a sentence.

For more informal writing, he or his may be used instead of one or one's.

Avoid using you, your, they, or their to refer to the impersonal pronoun one.
