Grammar
Pronoun for unknown gender
My friend said, " I watched a movie yesterday."
While changing the above sentence into indirect speech what do we replace the pronoun I with when the gender of "my friend l" is unknown.
Can we say
My friend said that he/she had watched a movie the previous day.
Thanks.
