Now I see Japanese People and Korean people are posting about how mad they are about pirate sites for manga and manhwa while Brazilian people don’t feel bad at doing pirating…

Cleaning my stuff at mom’s place and found this book with my writing (; I remember one of my high school teachers recommended me to read for practicing but it was too difficult for me at that time. I couldn’t read it without a dictionary.

#langtwt

Haha, yeah (; Thank you :)

I’ve been hanging out with my family most of the time after work but I realized that I need time to be by myself. I like being alone -.- So I came to cafe and I’m reading a book now (;

People have already answered your question, but I just wanted to add that the same process happened with "you", it was originally only plural until it replaced "thou" which is why when "you" is used for one person you still use "are"!

Ahhhh I’ve never thought about it but yeah it works the same o.o

I think I’ve seen “thou” before in a Shakespeare book :o I thought it was just a old way to say “you” and didn’t know it was only for you(singular) :o

I don’t know French at all but it’s kinda like you can use “usted”, which is third-person, as “you” instead of “tu”, which is second person to sound polite in Spanish…? :o

I understand it! :)

Question 1: For people who use they/them pronouns, I use "are".
Ex: "They are coming over later." (Referring to just one person)

Question 2: Any pronoun is fine, but using "they" is probably the most inclusive.
Ex: "If someone sees the new design, they will be impressed." (Again, just one person.)

For a native English (UK) speaker “they are” sounds natural. If you chose to say “they is …” it sounds like you disapprove of “they” being used as a singular pronoun and that you are making a political point eg. “ ’They’ is quite firm about the use of ‘their’ pronouns.“

But both technically correct

someone is singular but anyone could be plural. Someone should be followed by he/she , whereas anyone could refer to a group or an individual. therefore they or he/she. Depends on context.

Thank you for explaining :)

I don’t know it’s different depending on the place but it makes sense (;

Oh I need to be careful :o

Thank you :)

Okay :) I got it! Thank you for answering my questions! :)

Another question:

If I use “someone” or “anyone” in a sentence, should the pronoun be “they” after that? :o

If someone is using a pronoun “they/them” instead of she/her or he/him, should the verb “are” be used instead of “is” even if the subject is singular? :o

Moreover, she’s learned past tense in English class :o I learned it like… 2nd grade in junior high school ;D

Kids nowadays are required to study a looooot ;D

I’ve been helping my niece review Math and English in elementary school because she graduated and has lots of free time.

I’m really surprised that she’s already learned median in Math :o I’m sure I haven’t learned it when I was a elementary school :o
