If there is a double subject (more than one person/place/thing) completing an action, cross out the one that’s not the pronoun and thenread the sentence. You’ll be able to tell if it’s right or wrong.

COMMANDMENT 4: THOU SHALT USE PRONOUNS CONSISTENTLY.
This is a simple rule, once you’ve learned it. If you start off a sentence using the
pronoun you, you need to use you throughout. If you start off using one, you
need to use one throughout. And so forth.
