Choosing the Right Pronoun for Ownership: Understanding the Correct Use of their in a Sentence

Fill in the blank with the appropriate pronoun: “Neither of the girls brought _____ books to class.”

Neither of the girls brought their books to class

Neither of the girls brought their books to class.

In this sentence, the appropriate pronoun to fill in the blank is “their.”

The pronoun “their” is used as a possessive pronoun, indicating that the books belong to the girls. Since we are talking about more than one girl, “their” is the correct pronoun to use.

Other pronouns that could be used in similar situations include “his” (if we were talking about one girl) or “her” (if we were talking about a different girl). However, since we are mentioning “neither of the girls,” it implies multiple girls and therefore “their” is the appropriate pronoun.
