Pronoun agreement means using the right pronoun (like he, she, it, they) so it matches the noun it's replacing. If you're talking about a girl, you use "she" or "her." If it's a group of people, you use "they" or "them." Making sure your pronouns agree keeps your sentences clear and easy to understand. It avoids confusion and ensures your writing makes sense!
