Let’s go through each sentence one by one to pick the correct pronoun.
1. “Them/She is writing a report on Abe Lincoln.”
→ We need a subject pronoun (who is doing the action). “She” is correct because it’s the subject. “Them” is an object pronoun — doesn’t fit here.
✔ Answer: She
2. “We/Us are going to the parade together.”
→ Again, we need the subject. “We” is the subject pronoun. “Us” is for objects.
✔ Answer: We
3. “I threw the ball to they/him.”
→ After “to,” we need an object pronoun. “Him” is correct. “They” is a subject pronoun.
✔ Answer: him
4. “I told a secret to she/her.”
→ After “to,” we need an object. “Her” is correct. “She” is subject.
✔ Answer: her
5. “The teacher gave you/a job to do.”
→ This is tricky — “you” is already correct as the indirect object. But wait — the blank is after “gave you/a job” — actually, looking closely, it says “gave you/a job to do.” That seems like a typo in the worksheet. Probably meant “gave ___ a job to do.” If so, then “you” fits perfectly. “A” is an article, not a pronoun. So “you” is the only pronoun option.
✔ Answer: you
6. “I asked him/it for directions to the park.”
→ You ask a person, not a thing. “Him” is correct. “It” would be for things or animals.
✔ Answer: him
7. “Summer vacation is fun for us/we.”
→ After “for,” we need an object pronoun. “Us” is correct. “We” is subject.
✔ Answer: us
8. “Todd and I/me are going to be in charge.”
→ Subject of the sentence — “Todd and I” is correct. “Me” is object.
✔ Answer: I
9. “She/Her had never skated before.”
→ Subject of the sentence — “She” is correct. “Her” is object.
✔ Answer: She
10. “The coach showed him/he how to hold the hockey stick.”
→ After “showed,” we need an object. “Him” is correct. “He” is subject.
✔ Answer: him
Now, let’s write the final answers clearly.
Final Answer:
1. She
2. We
3. him
4. her
5. you
6. him
7. us
8. I
9. She
10. him
