Can I use 'they' for things and places or do I need to use 'those'?
Examples:
There are recreational facilities located on the third floor. They are not only for adults but for children as well.
Those apples are not ready to be picked. They need to ripened for a few more days.
Electronics are progressing at a rapid rate. They have become more complicated to use. |

| By all means, you can use 'they' for inanimate nouns - things/places. |
