someone
/ˈsʌmwʌn/
When used as a pronoun to mean 'an unspecified person', it is usually treated as singular. However, in modern English, it is very common to use 'they' or 'their' to refer back to 'someone' if you do not know the person's gender. When used as a noun meaning 'a person of importance', it is often used with the verb 'become'. For example, saying 'I want to be someone' means you want to be successful or famous.
