Duplicate subjects
Duplicate subject is a common mistake made by ESL students. They sometimes use a pronoun as a
duplicate subject in a clause that already has a noun as a subject.
Remember that each clause can have only one subject. If you have already mentioned the subject
by name, it is wrong to use a pronoun to refer to the same person.
