                   Everyone loves his friend.

                   Nobody likes his enemy. 

                   None has loved his foe.

7 ) अगर किसी वाक्य में बहुत सारे Singular Pronoun  हो तो उसमे 231 Rule लगता है , लेकिन Plural Pronoun हो तो उसमे 123 Rule लगते है | यानि Negative Idea में 123 और Positive Idea में 231
