Like many of students
who have encountered the pronouns “we”
and “they”, I also get confused in
substituting nouns with these plural pronouns —
especially in sentences where I thought I was included with the ones
being referred to. Like for example the nouns “youth”, “students” or “children”
(when I was still a student) used with another noun like:
1. The government leaders and the youth
are expected to join the Recycling Summit.
I
was assuming before that being a “youth” too when I was in highschool
or college, I was among those who are being talked about that is why I get
confused whether to change the compound subject to “they” or “we”.
