Copy and paste
Copy and paste this into your page, and then type in the pronoun form after each. For example, for the set "he/him", you would write

Please note that singular "they" uses plural verbs, even when talking about one person - so, despite the name singular "they", you would type.

Verbs
Consider these sentences:


 * He/him pronouns: He is a dentist.
 * Singular they/them pronouns: They are a dentist.

The he/him pronoun set uses singular verbs - the verb here is "is". But the singular they/them set uses plural verbs - "are". Singular they doesn't typically use singular verbs, meaning one would not usually say "they is a dentist" when using singular they.
