Figuring out Nouns & Pronouns in same sentence
I have been told that you should never use a noun and a pronoun in the same sentence. However, for some reason the following sentence (in bold) seems "proper" to me even though I have been told otherwise (the rest of the sentence, however, I know needs work). Please help.
Sentence in question...
"I expect Travis any moment, but he would just let himself in, especially since he expected me to b sleeping like I had been earlier in the week."
Thank you,
Bell

Who told you that? Are you sure you did not misunderstand?
