A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun to avoid repetition, such as 'he', 'she', 'it', 'they'.

A compound sentence connects two independent clauses, allowing for more complex ideas to be expressed.

An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a sentence because it has a subject and a verb.

A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a sentence and usually begins with a subordinating conjunction, such as 'because' or 'although'.

Correcting pronoun usage involves ensuring that pronouns agree in number and gender with the nouns they replace.

'Shrouded' means covered or concealed, often used to describe something that is hidden from view.

A phrase is a group of words without a subject-verb combination, while a clause contains a subject and a verb.

A comma is used before the conjunction (like 'and' or 'but') to separate the two independent clauses.

An example of a compound sentence is: 'I wanted to go for a walk, but it started to rain.'

The correct pronoun is 'he'.
