grammatical twist and possessive adjective
Hello,
I understand the meaning but not the construction of the phrase
"to describe to an employee dismissed from their job" in the sentence
"The verb 'to fire' is generally used to describe to an employee dismissed from their job. The verb has other uses, but it cannot be used to describe a person who is forced to leave their apartment."
Otherwise, why using "their" while it is "a person" ?
Thank you for your help
