Dominique (a non-gendered name) goes to school everyday. They take the bus.
Is this a proper English sentence?
(question from a non native speaker)
- mulmen 6y agoAs a native english speaker I consider that valid. The possible confusion is the fact that “they” could be singular or plural. AKA “singular they” [1]. Your second sentence could be referring to some other group of people who are not Dominique who instead of going to school take the bus.
