What is the correct form of pronoun they?

"They" is already in the correct form! It's a third-person plural pronoun, meaning it refers to multiple people or things.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind about "they":

* Singular use: "They" is increasingly being used as a singular pronoun, referring to a single person whose gender identity is non-binary or unknown. This is a common and accepted usage in modern English.

* Formal vs. informal: In formal writing, you might consider using "he or she" instead of "they" when referring to a single person of unknown gender. However, "they" is becoming more widely accepted even in formal contexts.

* Agreement: "They" always takes the plural form of verbs. For example, "They are going to the store," not "They is going to the store."
