Read the excerpt from Midsummer by Derek Walcott. With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, midsummer’s leaves race

to extinction like the roar of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses; they seethe toward autumn’s fire—it is in their nature, being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun. Based on the excerpt, what is the speaker’s perspective on the riot? The speaker thinks that the riot was a mistake. The speaker thinks that the riot was somewhat inevitable. The speaker thinks that the riot should have happened in the fall. The speaker thinks that the riot was entirely preventable.

They love to visit Hilton Head every summer, where you can swim in the ocean.
RoseWind [281]

We can identify the pronoun problem, fix it and explain it in the following manner:

1. In "They love to visit Hilton Head every summer, where you can swim in the ocean," the pronoun problem is the use of "you" in the second part of the sentence.

2. We can fix that error by using "they" instead of "you": They love to visit Hilton Head every summer, where they can swim in the ocean.

3. The reason why we must use "they" is the fact that the first part of the sentence is talking about "they", so to speak.

When we suddenly use "you", we are changing the perspective of the sentence. To remain consistent, we must use "they".

This type of pronoun error is quite common in informal, spoken language. It refers to a sudden change in perspective.

Take a look at the example: I enjoy going to that café because you can get some delicious desert there.

The sentence in the example begins with the perspective of the speaker, "I", but suddenly changes to what "you" can do.

Although a listener would understand what the speaker means, it still sounds odd.

That is what happens in the sentence we are analyzing here. The sudden change from "they" to "you" sounds odd.

To correct it, we must use "they" instead of "you".
