Hello everybody,
I have a question about the use of the word “neighbor” and what its pronoun should be used. Please see the following sentences:
Q1: I would like to know if all the above sentences are grammatically correct?
Q2: If I am saying a neighbor of mine which has only one person in his house, should I write down as the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] sentence above?
Q3: If I am saying a neighbor of mine which has more than one person in their house, should I write down as the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] or 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] sentence above?
Q4: If I am saying more than one neighbor of mine, should I write down as the 4[SUP]th[/SUP] sentence above (Suppose more than one of my neighbors want to move their houses next month)?
Q5: Can the word “neighbor” be used to describe one of my neighbors which has one person in his house or more than one person in their house? If it cannot be used to describe one of my neighbors which has more than one person in their house, should I use “neighbors” and the pronoun “them” to describe them? If then, the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] sentence above should not be correct, right? Instead, the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] sentence above should be used right?
Anyway, I hope somebody here would answer my questions. Thank you very much!
