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
.
