Incorrect-When somebody tells you they will help you, you should believe them.
Correct- When somebody tells you he or she will help you, you should believe him or her.
Explanation:
- In the given sentence : 'When somebody tells you they will help you, you should believe them.' several pronouns such as 'somebody , you, they' them' have been used.
- A pronoun is a part of speech that is used in place of a noun.
- Since a noun has to be followed by a verb in agreement to its singular or plural aspect, which is known as the subject-verb agreement, similarly a pronoun also has to be in agreement with the verb and noun or pronoun it follows.
- In the given sentence, the pronoun 'somebody' has been used. Somebody is a singular pronoun. Hence the corresponding pronoun relating it will be in the singular.
- In the sentence, 'they' and 'them' are not in singular agreement. Instead he/she and him/her should be used.
- Thus the corrected sentence is : When somebody tells you he or she will help you, you should believe him or her.
