Is this - who is not on his/her tern- correct?
Hi there,
Can anyone help me in expressing an idea in which I tried to say, "In our class, we took turns to report our Christmas stories. If anyone, who's turn has not been called, she/he must be very busy in reciting their sotries and would not pay any attention to what other classmates said". In this particular context, if I rewrite the sentence to "If anyone, who is not on his/her tern, who would not pay attention to what other classmates said" which I wasn't so sure this is correct.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks for your help and time. Happy New Year!

Anonymous help me in expressing an idea anyone, who's turn has not been called is not correct. You need anyone whose turn had not been called The idea is just as easily expressed as anyone who had not yet been called to take their turn . who is not on his turn is not a very good way to phrase it.
