What's wrong with the sentence "everyone must learn how to work their new computer"?

It might be point out that the problem with the sentence "everyone must learn how to work their new computer" is the use of the verb work because the appropriate preposition is not included. So it should be grammatically correct to say “everybody must learn how to work with a computer”. In this case, the verb will be a synonym of the verb use.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proofread for grammar mistakes. Make sure you have pronoun agreement. Everyone is a singular pronoun and their is a plural pronoun. Change their to his or her. There are no punctuation or name and number errors in this sentence.
