What a cute baby! Is it a ‘he’ or a ‘she’?
Ok so I admit that occasionally we might not recognise somebody’s gender. But when their gender is obvious then we need to use the right pronoun, at least when we’re taking an exam!
Many languages, including Bahasa Indonesia, use non-sexist pronouns. And many languages use the same pronoun for subjects and objects, and even for possessives! It’s hardly surprising that students find English pronouns challenging, but for IELTS they have to be right!
Some yukky theory:
| subject | object | possessive |
| he | him | his |
| she | her | hers |
| it | it | its |
