Hi there, my name is Zak !

When people refer to or address me, they use either my proper name or they/he pronouns.

This page demonstrates how you can refer to or address me with either of those, using sentences with simple examples of each.

It’s not really complicated, once you see how it works — and a lot of it you’ve probably already been doing your whole life.

But if you’re reading this and you aren’t familiar with how to use someone’s chosen pronouns or what exactly they are, maybe these quick examples can help you get started. If that’s you, maybe try to see if anything new stands out for you when you read through the section on they/them pronouns.

I like when people refer to me using they/them pronouns a good deal of the time, so it means a lot to me if you get this right.

Using My Proper Name

My proper name is Zak.

Here are examples of how to use it in a sentence :

Simple, straightforward so far.
