A faulty pronoun reference may be when:

- the pronoun does not have a clear antecedent (vague or hidden reference)

- the pronoun does not agree with its noun antecedent in number and gender (faulty agreement)

Examples:

Jim went with Ted to his father's store. (whose father?)

She hid the disk in her purse, but she lost it. (the disk or her purse?)

He gave his car to his brother because he was going to college. (who?)
