Pronoun set Unnamed set - he/she/they / him/her/them / his/her/their / his/hers/theirs / himself/herself/themself
Example sentence Someone is writing posdet example sentence, and subj is very pleased with reflex. It was pretty hard for obj, but subj is happy because it's pospro.

What this is

It's a template for generating a pronoun set and example sentence for reference and understanding.

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 subj=he |obj=him ... etc.

{{pronounshelp|pronounname= |subj= |obj= |posdet= |pospro= |reflex= |verbs=singular/plural (delete as appropriate) |name= }}

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