He/She instead of him/her

[eddy143]

hi there, please let me know your opinion on this.

(1) How many people are there in his/her family?
-There are three people in his/her family.

(2) Who are they?
-They are his Father, Mother and he/she.

Wish to ask if "him/her" will sound best if we subtitute it in the second answer.

Thanks very much.
Have a nice day!

I might say, "They are his father, his mother, and he himself." At least I wouldn't object to that. I think I'd really say, "Apart from him, [there's] his mother and father."

In #2 "he/she" is grammatically correct, but you will very often, maybe most often, hear "him/her" in AmE.
