I'm wondering the subject of the second clause in a sentence like   You should tell him to get up and get back to work   The subject of get back to work is ambiguous to me. It could be interpreted as either  You should tell him to get up and [you] get back to work   or  You should tell him to get up and [him] get back to work   How should I form the sentence so that either option is explicit and unambiguous?

My friend and I got into an argument about English grammar, so I was hoping maybe you could help us out. Okay so we want to know if the following part of the sentence is correct, "People who are satisfied and feel self-fulfilled like I" rather than "People who are satisfied and feel self-fulfilled like me". I have already provided many sources to my friend showing that the first way is a formal and a grammatically correct way, however he wants an answer with this specific part of the sentence.   Please help us out  Thank you

In my native language, we can say:     I have dog   Because I don't want to say a dog (one dog, how many dogs) or the dog (that dog, the listener don't care which dog).  p.s. after 3 years later, I have to say, why I ask this question, is I still cannot grasp how to use the right 'article word'. sometimes, a noun will use an article, sometimes, a noun could not(or omit) the article word before it. there aren't a formula for this. So, I have to remember all the time! I feel so frustrate

I recently had somebody tell me that a mutual friend of ours who is  prefers that people refer to him/her using the gender-indefinite pronoun they.   In some cases, this almost seems okay:   Kris left their umbrella at our house.  On the other hand, if Kris is sitting right next to you, it feels very odd to say       They (meaning just Kris) would like more cake.   Or even odder,      Kris would like some more cake, can you please pass it to they/them?"   Are these usages grammatically correct? Are they in the process of becoming grammatically correct? Are there more correct alternatives?

There's an old play on words that goes like so:     Grammar: The difference between helping your uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.    I've been told that it should instead be:     Grammar: The difference between helping your uncle, Jack, off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.    Is either of these correct? Why?
