Is it wrong to say for example If one is hungry they should go eat Or do I have to use something else instead of they If yes what should I use?

Technically, if one is hungry, one should go eat; if someone is hungry, he should go eat. However, it has long been the custom of English speakers to use "they" (an imported, Scandinavian word, by the way) as the third person singular pronoun of unspecified gender when the antecedent is "someone" or "a person" and so forth. Political mis-correction insists on the awkwardly unnecessary "he-or-she" in that context, but the old way is best, at least in speech. In writing, try to avoid using the ugly he-or-she by restructuring the antecedents into the plural.

When writing you should aim for all of your sentences to follow the same sentence structure True False?

False. While it is generally considered a good idea to vary sentence structure in writing to keep the reader engaged, following the same structure for all sentences can also be used for stylistic purposes, such as emphasizing a point or creating a specific tone. Ultimately, it depends on the writer's intent and the overall flow of the writing.
