"他们上个月分手了。"

Translation: They broke up last month.

[ronniesseb]

And now they are buying a house together

[BarAdal3]

Is this a reference to a further sentence in this course?

[unueco]

Why did they break up???

[Maoz2021]

分手＝吹？

[yangchaeri]

對呀

[MelissaMelbourne]

Is this referring to the break up of a single-sex relationship or can 他们 be used for male and female couples? If it is the latter, can 她们 also be used in this way?

[Linnea747]

他们 can refer to two men or a man and a woman. 她们 is used if it's two women

[YaraMartin577614]

I wonder.... but most people get this one correct so there is small reason to discuss.

[XoPandagal4]

What about "They broke up a month ago?" Could this be a possible translation to be added in?

[flying_meatball]

i guess that would be 他们一个月前分手了。
上个月 - last month;
一个月前 - a month ago.

[Jon8652]

They split up a month ago should be okay
