In case you don't understand, maybe I can explain this further.

The idea is that he/she is a pronoun while 'that person' is a noun. You can only use a pronoun when the noun it is replacing is clear. Also, in the first sentence, you do not know the gender. There are some people who would use 'he' just for the sake of shortening the sentence but technically you would have to keep the noun.

I'm sorry if I've confused you further but hopefully this helps.
Hi, Echo.
I’m sorry but I don’t understand the last part ‘you would have to keep the noun’.
What does “keep the noun” mean? What do I have to do?


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

I YamaP
