A pronoun takes the place of a noun, but it can get confusing if it is not clear which noun the pronoun is replacing. This is called a vague pronoun. For example, in the sentence 'Mia and Jenna went to the store, and she bought some fruit,' who does 'she' refer to? By rewriting it as 'Mia and Jenna went to the store, and Jenna bought some fruit,' we make the meaning perfectly clear!
