Hello

"Everyone were convinced that Ryan would pitch on Saturday."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Everyone was convinced that Ryan would pitch on Saturday."

Everyone were does not make sense,

everyone was does.

This is a simple mistake of point of view. Sometimes it can get confusing, which leads to grammar mistakes.

'Were' would be used in a sentence like "Where were you guys?"

'Was' would be used in a sentence like "I was gonna go, but I didnt."

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

Answer:

The pronoun error in this sentence is that they have mistaken "Everyone" as a plural indefinite pronoun, and has placed plural verb (were) after it.

And a singular indefinite pronoun requires a singular verb

To fix this sentence we need to replace were with was, so the sentence reads this: Everyone was convinced that Ryan would pitch on Saturday.
