Give an example of a pronoun-antecedent agreement error.

Example: "Everyone should bring their own lunch to the picnic."

In this sentence, the pronoun "their" does not agree in number with its antecedent "everyone," which is singular. The correct pronoun should be "his or her" to maintain agreement.
