shouldn’t number 4 include β€œtheir” (my professor said that while you can add it it’s superfluous)

and number 5 be β€œ tomorrow’s β€œ test? (he said that adding β€œ β€˜s β€œ is completely wrong

if i’m wrong can someone explain why?

for context i live in italy

πŸ“š Grammar / Syntax They was vs they were

I know that the singular "they" is used to refer to one person without using "he" or "she".

According to this article:

TheyΒ always goes with a plural verb, even whenΒ theyΒ is referring to a single person: β€œThey are my friend.”

But how do the majority of people talk in real life? Does the plural or singular in this case depend on the dialect/region?
