上述这些词语都是单数,要用单数动词,因此它们的人称代词应该是he/she,所有格形容词则是his/her(he/his用于阳性和两性都有的场合;she/her用于指阴性)。但许多以英语为母语的人感到这太麻烦,从而常常用they/their,即使只牵涉到一个性别也这么使用:
Neither of them remembered their instructions.
他们俩谁也没记往自己得到的指示。
Would someone lend me their binoculars?
谁能借给我望远镜用一用?
Everyone has read the notice,havent they?
大家都看到通知了,是吗?
No one objected,did tney?
