Hello I was trying to say this sentence but then i foud out i didn't know how to complete it:


"EVerybody should treat (themselves?) with a photo session like I did" - should I use themselves?

Other doubt is, when I use "who/whom" the verb to be is supposed to be in the third person he/she/is, like everybody?

for example we say "everybody likes pop corn" should I say "who likes pop corn?" "who wants to be killed?"


Thanks

Hi sophiaschimidt.

"Everybody should treat (themselves?) with a photo session like I did" - should I use themselves?

Yes, you should use themselves.

Rule: Substitute “he/him” or “she/her”: If it's either “he” or “she” then it's “who” if it's “him” or “her” then it's “whom.” Ok ?

You are correct when you say that the verb be was supposed to be in the third form.


I hope it helps you.

Sophia,

Sim,a estrutura 'Everybody should treat themselves' está correta.

Sim,everybody/everyone likes,goes,tries,works,etc.

Everybody likes popcorn=Todo mundo gosta de pipoca.

Everybody who likes popcorn=Todo mundo que gosta de pipoca.

-->Nem sempre "who/whom" vai implicar em terceira pessoa.Veja:

People who work there=Pessoas que trabalham lá.-->'People' é plural.'Who'/'whom' é usado em referência a pessoas,singular ou plural.

Bons estudos!

Treat with tem o sentido de tratamento para remediar:
