Pronoun shift happens when the author starts with a

pronoun and switches to another in a sentence,
paragraph, or section. This often confuses the

reader. Most commonly, the shift happens halfway

through a sentence.

These are some examples of shifts in pronoun and the corrections.

Example:
When we visited Kathmandu, we learned that you could easily find tour guides.

In this sentence, the pronoun shifts from first person plural (we) to second person
(you).

Correction:
When we visited Kathmandu, we learned that we could easily find tour guides.

Example:
If you set aside time each day to practice, most people can learn a new skill easily.

people.)

If you set aside time each day to practice, you can learn a new skill easily.
