Best Answer

The pronoun 'they' is the third person, plural, subjective. The pronoun 'they' can take the place of a noun for a male, a female, or a neuter noun. The objective pronoun corresponding to 'they' is 'them'. Some examples:

Mom and dad will pick us up. They will be here at six. Let's watch for them.

The books that I ordered are in. They are used so I didn't pay much for them.
