Template:Pronounshelp

{{pronounshelp}} is a template for generating a pronoun set and example sentence for reference and understanding.

It looks like this when it's used:

Pronoun	Singular they - they / them / their / theirs / themself
In use	Sam is writing their example sentence, and they are very pleased with themself. It was pretty hard for them, but they are happy because it's theirs.

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.
