Alexander Koryagin | All | They knows? |

Hi, all!
From Paulo Coelho, The Althemist:
-----Beginning of the citation-----
"Why would a king be talking with a shepherd?" the boy asked, awed
and embarrassed.
"For several reasons. But let's say that the most important is that
you have succeeded in discovering your Personal Legend."
The boy didn't know what a person's "Personal Legend" was.
"It's what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they
are young, knows what their Personal Legend is.
----- The end of the citation -----
What about the last sentence?
Should it be "Everyone, when he is young, knows"
or
"All people, when they are young know..."
If we use "they", we imply many people? IMHO, it is incompatible "are" and
"knows".
Bye, all!
Alexander Koryagin
