I would be very grateful if people could provide translations into any Slavic language for the following sentences:
[1a] They have become significant agents of modernization.
[1b] They have become significant agents of modernization.
... knowing that, in sentence [1a], they refers to only women, and in sentence [1b] they refers to only men.
It's not the quality of the translation what I care about, but knowing whether the translation would provide two syntactically different sentences or two syntactically identical ones. I'm especially interested in differences realized in the verb (if the verb ending change according to the subject's gender).
The verb conjugation is not important either, that is, I would equally happy with a translation of the following sentences...
[2] They will become significant agents of modernization.
[3] They became significant agents of modernization.
[4] They become significant agents of modernization.
[n] x
... as long as the translation depends formally on the referent of they.
I hope I made myself clear (I tried to explain the issue in an understandable language for non linguists). I'll be very thankful for any answer.
