Indefinite and Possessive Pronouns
by Roland
I'm always a bit uncertain when I use an indefinite pronoun, what the correct corresponding possessive would be. As an example: "ONE should know, what THEIR task is at work".
Would this be correct?
Hi Roland, you are right! You would use
"their" whenever you don't know if it is a man or a woman or who it is in general.
Examples:
One should keep their bag close to them when at the airport.
One shouldn't leave their car unlocked in the street.
Someone left their keys in the door.
