Consider these sentences:


* ''He is a dentist.''
* He/him pronouns: ''He is a dentist.''
* ''They are 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 say "they is a dentist" typically when using singular they.
