Pronoun Worksheets - Free Printable

Let's solve the pronoun worksheet step by step.

Understanding the Task

The goal is to use possessive pronouns to complete each sentence. Possessive pronouns show ownership and include:

- mine, his, hers, its, ours, theirs

These pronouns replace a noun and indicate who owns something.

Step-by-step Solutions

We'll go through each sentence and determine which possessive pronoun fits best.

---

1. I bought a new video game. The video game is _________.

- The game belongs to "I" (the speaker).
- So, it’s mine.
✔ Answer: mine

2. The jacket belongs to David. The jacket is _________.

- Belongs to David → David’s jacket.
- So, the possessive pronoun for David is his.
✔ Answer: his

3. The cats belong to Lisa and Sheila. The cats are _________.

- Two people own the cats → "Lisa and Sheila" → theirs
✔ Answer: theirs

4. This telephone number belongs to Betty. It is _________.

- Belongs to Betty → hers
✔ Answer: hers

5. You and I live in this house. The house is _________.

- "You and I" → two people → ours
✔ Answer: ours

6. My dog is bigger than your dog. The larger dog is _________.

- The larger dog belongs to "me" → mine
✔ Answer: mine

7. You go to Maple School. The school is _________.

- "You" go to the school → it belongs to you → yours
✘ Wait! But yours is not in the box provided.

Let's check the box again:
> Possessive pronouns include: mine, his, hers, its, ours, theirs

Yours is missing from the list.

But the sentence says: "You go to Maple School." So the school belongs to you → yours.

However, since yours isn't listed, we must assume it's an error or that only the given words can be used.

But wait — perhaps the sentence is implying that the school belongs to the students collectively?

Actually, schools don’t typically belong to students. More likely, the intended answer is yours, but it's not in the list.

Alternatively, maybe the sentence is meant to be interpreted as “The school is yours,” meaning it belongs to the student.

Since yours is not in the box, and no other option makes sense, this might be a mistake.

But let’s recheck: Is there any way to use one of the given pronouns?

No — mine, his, hers, its, ours, theirs — none fit unless the school belongs to a specific person.

But the sentence doesn’t name anyone else.

Perhaps the correct word should be yours, but since it's not listed, maybe the worksheet has an error.

However, looking at the example: "The computer is his" — so they expect the pronoun to match the owner.

Given that, and since "you" is singular, the correct possessive pronoun is yours, but it's not in the box.

⚠️ Possibility: This may be a typo in the worksheet. But if we must choose from the box, then none work.

But wait — could "ours" be used? Only if "you" includes the speaker.

But "You go to Maple School" — implies just the listener.

So yours is correct, but not in the list.

🟨 Note: This appears to be an oversight. Likely, the intended answer is yours, but it's missing.

However, let's suppose the sentence was meant to say: “We go to Maple School.” Then ours would work.

But it says “You go...” → singular.

So unless the teacher allows yours, this is problematic.

For now, we’ll note that yours is correct, but not in the box.

✔ Best possible answer based on context: yours (but not in box)

However, since the instructions say to use the box, and yours is not in it, perhaps it's a mistake.

Let's move on and come back.

8. Ted’s basketball is over here. The basketball is _________.

- Ted’s → his
✔ Answer: his

9. That skateboard belongs to Jon. The skateboard is _________.

- Jon → his
✔ Answer: his

10. You want the last slice of pizza. The last slice is _________.

- Belongs to "you" → yours
Again, yours not in box.

But same issue as #7.

✔ Answer: yours (not in box)

11. Mom and dad’s car is in the driveway. The car in the driveway is _________.

- Mom and Dad → both parents → theirs
✔ Answer: theirs

12. My brother and I bought tickets. The tickets are _________.

- "My brother and I" → two people → ours
✔ Answer: ours

Conclusion

✔ Correct answers using the provided box:
- mine, his, hers, ours, theirs

⚠️ Problematic sentences:
- #7 and #10 require yours, which is not in the provided box.

➡️ Likely Issue: The worksheet forgot to include yours in the list of possessive pronouns.

💡 Suggestion: If this is a real classroom assignment, the teacher should either:
- Add yours to the box, or
- Change the sentences to use only the listed pronouns (e.g., change “You go…” to “We go…” → then ours works).

But based on standard grammar, the correct answers are as above.
