The Rule

A pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number and gender
'Each nurse brought his or her badge' — each is singular

Indefinite

Always singular: each, either, neither, everyone, somebody, anyone
Always plural: both, few, many, several

Clarity

Avoid a vague antecedent — if two nouns precede it, rename the noun
'They' with no clear referent is a common test error

Types

Personal, possessive, reflexive (-self), relative (who, which, that), demonstrative (this, those)

Key takeaway

Match in number and person
