Second singular person problem

[grinapo]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am non native English speaker. I also haven't heard these pronouns. So I meet them and have to learn how to use them. Useful site.

Problem example sentence:

• He goes where he wants.

And the problem is:

• They goes where they wants?

or

• They go where they want?

Second singular usage is not observable in your examples, and it is probably one of the most frequent uses.

Describe the solution you'd like
Well, it's a problem if you don't have a field about forced plurality; but generally requires a new example sentence and a forced plurality check.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Not caring about the problem. ;-)

Additional context
This page is referenced from lots of places, but if one has no prior knowledge of this language feature it's not providing all the info needed for everyday use.

In English, "they go" is always the way it's said. The singular they is always treated the same as plural they for conjugating verbs.

[grinapo]

As I said: this form is not known here around (and possibly Europe) so if you don't tell us "it's always treated as" then we won't know. The point is whether you want to educate people about their usage or don't (asking that from people speaking English as second, and in one case even first languaguage) resulted mixed answers, so I'd say it's not obvious for everyone.

I am at the "never heard of that, and people have linked your page as an explanation about its usage" end of the pipe.

But you can close this issue if you think it's not justified. Thanks for your time.

It would be nice to have example conjugations and contractions with auxiliary verbs like "to be" and "to have". Like "xe's".

+1 to this. I recently looked up a set of pronouns I was unfamiliar with, xey/xem, to try to figure out whether to use plural verbs as I would with they/them. The examples simply don't demonstrate that.

One simple change that may meet this need is to use the present tense in one or more of the sentences. "Xey went to the park" leaves grammatical number ambiguous, but "Xey is going to the park" does not.
