Another fun site to check out is Grammar Girl. This particular link connects to subject-verb agreement rules and reminders and Grammar Girl uses sarcasm to remind us how good grammar is always an indicator of intelligence! Well spoken individuals get our attention and respect. (Thank you, Ms. Drance, for recommending this site!)
Pronoun Antecedent Agreement
Much like the basic principal of subject-verb agreement, pronouns need to agree with their antecedents. The formula is the same, singular antecedents require singular pronouns and plural antecedents require plural pronouns. Once again Purdue Online Writing Lab (Pronouns) provides an excellent resource, but I have also included some simple examples to help you remember the rule.

Singular subject and singular verb: Brooke is a teacher and a mom.
Plural subject and plural verb: The students are reviewing for their English final.

The below video is a bit longer, but provides an in-depth discussion of pronoun/ antecedent agreement issues. Although the speaker is directly referring to SAT review and that may seem far away, the examples he provides are right on target. He makes a great point, that we often make mistakes in pronoun antecedent agreement in spoken English, but we need to be mindful of these mistakes in our writing.

It's Always Best to Agree...At least when it comes to grammar!
Subject-Verb Agreement Rule
The most important word that you need to remember when thinking about subjects and verbs is agreement. The basic formula you need to keep in mind is that every subject needs to agree with every verb. Singular subjects (ex. Brooke) require singular verbs (ex. is) and plural subjects (ex. students) require plural verbs (ex. are).
Here are some simple sample sentences that comply with this rule:
Singular subject and singular verb: Brooke is a teacher and a mom.
Plural subject and plural verb: The students are reviewing for their English final.
Of course these sentences would sound horribly wrong if there were:
Brooke are a teacher and a mom.
The students is reviewing for their English final.
These examples will help you remember the rule, but it is important to consider more complex subjects (like compound subjects or pronouns). The best online tool I've found to review this concept is the Purdue Online Writing Lab.
Pronoun Antecedents
Much like the basic principal of subject-verb agreement, pronouns need to agree with their antecedents. The formula is the same, singular antecedents require singular pronouns and plural antecedents require plural pronouns. Once again Purdue Online Writing Lab (Pronouns) provides an excellent resource, but I have also included some simple examples to help you remember the rule.
