It's important to note that pronouns can be singular or plural, and they can also have different forms depending on their role in a sentence (subject, object, possessive, etc.). Additionally, gender-neutral pronouns like "they" and "them" are commonly used to refer to individuals when their gender is unknown or when referring to non-binary or gender-neutral individuals.
