Notes-After let the pronoun form is used like let him.

→His or her is used just after “Every one” so, we should not use their after “Every one”.

→Neither-nor use with itself a singular verb and these words are used for two person.

→In the sense of nothing among many things then “none”  is used instead of neither.

→The reflexive pronoun are like myself,himself. So,after the following words the reflexive pronouns are used and these words are “Enjoy,Hid,Resign,Apply,Avail,Absent”. So, use reflexive pronount just after the words.

→We often use- Mine,Yours,Ours. etc. when we not see any noun form after the pronouns.
