   “They” uses plural verb forms, if that’s what you’re asking.

   Just posted this helpful guide in another branch of the thread: https://style.mla.org/using-singular-they/

   We’re in a bit of a pickle here because singular “they” has been acceptable in vernacular English for centuries, but was discouraged in formal written English throughout much of the 20th century. Now we’re renegotiating the formal rules.
