Plural forms (they, them, their) after - everybody and everyone Everybody said they would point at him. (= he or she) --------------------------- Is the sentence mean that only one man would point at him? Could you write this sentence using some text, to more clarify this rule.Write about yourselves or Write something about yourselves?

Everybody never means must one person. Obviously there are lots of people, so you use the pronoun "they". The reasoning should be obvious.
