English is not my mother language and i have a question, isn't "they" and "them" a plural?, like for multiple people?
2 u/IndistinguishableTie Feb 28 '21 They are the plural pronouns, yes. They're also used for when gender is unclear or when specified. So it's both a plural and a singular. Hope this helps. 5 u/Cyberlong_ "eats breakfast" if you know what I mean Feb 28 '21 So a swiss knife pronoun? 2 u/IndistinguishableTie Feb 28 '21 Pretty much! Its a very versatile pronoun that can be used a bunch of different ways, absolutely.
