    These sentences contains a pronoun shift:

    1) T eenagers often want more freedom, but you need to show that you are responsible.

    2) If a student wishes to go on the field trip, they must bring in a permission slip.

    The first sentence starts in third person (teenagers) and midway shifts to second person (you), indicating a pronoun change.

    The second sentence starts in third person singular (a student) and shifts to third person plural (they), indicating a pronoun change.

    Pronoun shifts are best avoided in writing since they are confusing for the reader and interrupt the flow of writing.
