Hello, teachers!!
I'll introduce you to the man whom I share a flat with.
----->
I understand every word of a text, but I cannot understand the sentence at all.
Is I male or female? If I is female, this girl will introduce you to the man sharing a flat with. I believe that if you share a flat with a guy, you will not introduce you to this guy.
Thank you in advance. |

I is the person who is writing or speaking. The sex is unspecified. You have to know who "I" is to figure out the sex of the person.
Some women do share a flat or house with a man or men or women they have no sexual interest in. It is merely a matter of economics. |
