The nouns that they refer to are called antecedents. A pronoun and its antecedent are in agreement if they are both singular or both plural.
The pronoun has to agree to the type of antecedent (plural or singular). So, if the antecedent, or word that comes before, is singular, then the pronoun that takes its place must also be singular.
