Im writting an essay and need this sentence in 3rd person.? |
Im not sure if both 'they's are 3rd person? Here is the sentence \/ If a person decides to go for a bike ride without a helmet and they fall and hit their head, they could suffer from severe damages. The first guy is right... THEY is incorrect. But I wouldn't use he/she him/her he/she either Suppose a person decides to go for a bike ride without a helmet. The chances of suffering a severe injury from falling is great. Or something along those lines. Source(s): Love! They is incorrect in BOTH instances. Your subject is singular as in A PERSON..so, your modifier needs to be singular as well. A way to phrase this could be: If a person decides to go for a bike ride without a helmet, and he/she hits his/her head, he/she could suffer severe damages. Yes, it's in third person, but if you start off with 'a person', you need to stick with the singular: If a person decides to go for a bike ride without a helmet and he falls and hits his head, he could suffer from severe damages. or If people decide to go for bike rides without helmets and they fall and hit their heads, they could suffer from severe damages. I know you didn't ask about that; I just thought I'd offer. 3rd person is he/she/it in the singular. And "they" in the plural. If he/she/it (pick whichever...) decides to go for a bike ride, without a helmet and he/she/it (same one as the previous), they could suffer from severe damages. By the way, you'd want second person here, not third, but I'm just answering your question. And second person is "you" in the singular and plural. Not meaning you personally, just you in general. All the above are correct. They is 3rd person plural. |
