Hello.
I started a new thread because the topic is not the same. Isn't it better to use "they" instead of "he" or "she" and when I have two sentences with "this" and "it" which should I use first?
1. "If a member of my family was diagnosed with cancer, I think it would be better to tell him or her about *this*. He has a right to know about *it*."
I think the second sentence is better.
2. "If a member of my family is diagnosed with cancer, I think it would be better to tell them about *it/that.*They have a right to know about *this.*
I didn't use "this" in the second example's first sentence because I used it in the sentence that follows it."
I am sorry I cannot use bold or italics.
