      2 Il is also used as an impersonal nominative-only pronoun.
      3 On can also function as a first person plural (although agreeing with third person singular verb forms).
      4 The nominal indeterminate form ce (demonstrative) can also be used with the auxiliary verb être as a plural, instead of the proximal or distal gendered forms.
      5 The reflexive third person singular forms (se or s’) for accusative or dative are also used as third person plural reflexive.
      6 Vous is also used as the polite singular form, in which case the plural disjunctive tonic vous-mêmes becomes singular vous-même.
      7 Ils, eux and eux-mêmes are also used when a group has a mixture of masculine and feminine members.
