Step-by-step solution for: Interrogative Pronouns | Pronoun Worksheets
Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to fill in the correct interrogative pronoun (who, whom, what, whose, which) in each sentence.
---
- Who – used for people, subject of the sentence
- Whom – used for people, object of the sentence (formal)
- What – used for things, objects, or information
- Whose – shows possession
- Which – used when choosing between specific options
---
Now let’s go through each sentence:
---
1. ______ one of the books is your favorite?
→ We're choosing among specific books.
✔ Which
2. To ______ should I address the letter?
→ "To" is a preposition; we need the object form.
✔ whom (formal; "to whom" is correct)
3. ______ shoes are sitting outside the front door?
→ Asking about ownership of shoes.
✔ Whose
4. ______ would you like to go to tomorrow?
→ Asking about a place.
✔ Where — Wait! But “where” isn’t listed. Let’s check:
Actually, the question is asking *which* place? So if it's limited choices (e.g., movie theaters), use which.
But “where” is not an option. Since the list includes only who, whom, what, whose, which, and “where” is not one of them, perhaps the intended answer is which if there are specific places in mind.
✔ Which (assuming choice among specific places)
5. ______ house should we go to on Saturday to watch the game?
→ Asking about a specific house among others.
✔ Which
6. To ______ was the package sent?
→ Again, "to" + person (object).
✔ whom
7. ______ is the new student in the band?
→ Asking about a person (subject).
✔ Who
8. ______ is the title of the poem that you liked?
→ Asking for a thing (title).
✔ What
9. ______ is going to be the guest speaker for the assembly?
→ Asking about a person (subject).
✔ Who
10. ______ homework was turned in without a name written on it?
→ Asking about whose homework (ownership).
✔ Whose
11. ______ is your dog’s name?
→ Asking for a name (a thing).
✔ What
12. ______ car is yours?
→ Asking about ownership of a car.
✔ Whose
13. ______ birthday is in the month of December?
→ Asking about someone’s birthday (possessive).
✔ Whose

→ Asking about contents (what's in it).
