Let's solve this step-by-step.

Part 1: Sorting Pronouns into the Correct Balloon Baskets

We are given a list of pronouns:

Pronouns:
it, she, me, I, them, her, he, him, we, they, you, us

We need to sort these into six categories based on person (1st, 2nd, 3rd) and number (singular, plural).

---

#### Understanding the Categories:

- 1st person: The speaker(s)
- Singular: "I", "me"
- Plural: "we", "us"

- 2nd person: The person being spoken to
- Singular: "you"
- Plural: "you" (same word in English)

- 3rd person: The person or thing being spoken about
- Singular: "he", "him", "she", "her", "it"
- Plural: "they", "them"

Note: In English, "you" is used for both singular and plural 2nd person.

---

✔ Now, fill in the balloon baskets:

#### Singular
- 1st person: I, me
- 2nd person: you
- 3rd person: he, him, she, her, it

#### Plural
- 1st person: we, us
- 2nd person: you
- 3rd person: they, them

> Note: "you" appears in both 2nd person singular and plural — it’s the same form in English.

🔧 Part 2: Change the verb to match the pronoun

Now fix the verbs so they agree with the subject pronouns.

1. I has → ✘ "has" is third person singular
✔ I have

2. she are → ✘ "are" is plural; "she" is singular
✔ she is

3. he do → ✘ "do" is plural; "he" is singular
✔ he does

4. you does → ✘ "does" is third person singular; "you" takes "do"
✔ you do

5. they has → ✘ "has" is singular; "they" is plural
✔ they have

6. it were → ✘ "were" is past tense (plural), but "it" is singular
✔ it was

> Note: "It were" could be used in subjunctive mood (e.g., "If it were..."), but here it's likely a basic subject-verb agreement error. So correct form is it was.

✔ Final Answers:

#### Balloon Baskets:

| Category | Pronouns |
|--------------------|------------------------------|
| Singular 1st | I, me |
| Singular 2nd | you |
| Singular 3rd | he, him, she, her, it |
| Plural 1st | we, us |
| Plural 2nd | you |
| Plural 3rd | they, them |

---

#### Verb Corrections:

- I has → I have
- she are → she is
- he do → he does
- you does → you do
- they has → they have
- it were → it was
