@englishwithrhys: Here’s a line from this video: "Jamie is checking their phone." Why did I use “their” instead of “his” or “her”? After all, in English, we usually use "he" for a man and "she" for a woman. But we can also use "they" to talk about one person. Singular "they" has several uses in English. One example is when a person's gender is unknown or doesn't need to be specified. We might use “they” because we don’t think the person’s gender is important to the story. And here's an interesting grammar point: even when "they" refers to one person, we still say "they are", not "they is". Join my online courses.
