Transfer rules
- In restoring the subject in English, with motion verbs, for the third person singular, the third person plural should be used (e.g. gender neutral singular they), with non-motion verbs, the third person neuter, e.g.
- "I've got a friend coming over for dinner"
- "Oh, what time are they arriving?"
