Let's solve the
"Personal Pronouns" worksheet step by step.
---
Instructions:
-
Circle the pronoun in the second sentence of each pair.
-
Draw an arrow from the pronoun to the
noun it replaces (the antecedent).
---
We’ll go through each item one by one:
---
1. Take off your boots. They are wet.
-
Pronoun: *They*
-
Replaces: *boots*
✔ Circle
They, then draw an arrow from
They to
boots.
---
2. Call Mark after supper. He seemed happy.
-
Pronoun: *He*
-
Replaces: *Mark*
✔ Circle
He, draw an arrow to
Mark.
---
3. Adam and Carol were playing with the kittens. Then, Carol fed them.
-
Pronoun: *them*
-
Replaces: *kittens*
✔ Circle
them, draw an arrow to
kittens.
> Note: "Adam and Carol" are both people, but "them" refers to the
kittens, not the people.
---
4. Mom and dad went shopping. They bought a new dining set.
-
Pronoun: *They*
-

5. The farmer brought the cows around. Later, he fixed the fence.
-
Pronoun: *he*

he, draw an arrow to
farmer.
---
6. Mark and you are presenting tomorrow. You need to be ready.
-
Pronoun: *You* (in the second sentence)
-
Replaces: *you* (same person)
⚠️ This is tricky — the pronoun *you* refers back to *you* in the first sentence. But since both sentences refer to the same person, we circle the second
you and draw an arrow to the first
you or just note that it refers to the listener.
✔ Circle
You (second sentence), draw an arrow to
you (first sentence).
---
7. The woman crossed the street. Then, she entered the store.

✔ Final Summary:
For each sentence:
