读Manhattan gmat sc不懂的一个问题 求助~

张大猴

（False） when the person calls, take down THEIR information. 这句话是错的，可以改成：

（true） when the person calls, take down HIS information. Or

（true） when the person calls, takes down THEIR information.

不太明白这个第二句~为什么用their呢

（false） everyone here will need their own pencil.

（false）everyone here will need his own pencil.

下面这一句用his为什么还不对啊？

希望同学们指点一下~

你的材料有错误。

Incorrect: When the person calls take down THEIR information

Correct : When the person calls take down HIS information OR

Correct; When the people calls take down THEIR information.

In the above sentence thing to note is that PERSON is in the singular and THEIR is in the plural form so to correct it we have two option. One either change the pronoun part to singular as done in the first correct sentence. or we can change the subject in plural form to make both the part plural as done in second sentence.

prayer

Incorrect: Everyone here will need THEIR own pencil.

Correct: Everyone here will need HIS own pencil.

If you have read our previous chapter you would have know that EVERYONE is a singular form and THEIR is the plural form. So what we did was, we changed the plural part to singular form in the second correct sentence.
