In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack talk about common mistakes non-native English speakers make when using pronouns.
“He/him/his” and “she/her/hers” are sets of pronouns commonly used to refer to individuals based on their gender identity. Pronouns are words used to replace nouns in sentences to avoid repetition and make the language more efficient. In English, the three sets of pronouns generally used are:
He/him/his:
“He” is used as a subject pronoun, replacing the male person’s name or noun in the subject position of a sentence.
Example: He is going to the store.
“Him” is used as an object pronoun, replacing the male person’s name or noun in the object position of a sentence.
Example: Mary saw him at the party.
“His” is used as a possessive pronoun, showing ownership or association with the male person.
Example: John lost his keys.
These pronouns are typically used when referring to individuals who identify as male or use masculine pronouns.
She/her/hers:
“She” is used as a subject pronoun, replacing the female person’s name or noun in the subject position of a sentence.
Example: She is a doctor.
“Her” is used as an object pronoun, replacing the female person’s name or noun in the object position of a sentence.
Example: Peter called her yesterday.
“Hers” is used as a possessive pronoun, showing ownership or association with the female person.
Example: The book is hers.
These pronouns are typically used when referring to individuals who identify as female or use feminine pronouns.

If I told they, …so maybe I should to explain they are woman or man…
“They” is informally a gender neutral third person singular pronoun in English when we don’t know the gender of the person doing the action or if a person who doesn’t identify as a man or woman prefers to be referred to as “they” and “them.”
