Step-by-step solution for: Grade 6: Kinds of Pronouns worksheet
Let's solve both sections F and G step by step, with explanations.

Distributive pronouns refer to individual members of a group separately (e.g., *each*, *every*, *either*, *neither*). They are used when talking about one at a time.
Example:
—– boy got a slice of the cake.
→ Each boy got a slice of the cake.
Now, let’s fill in the blanks:
1. Each of the boys could dance.
→ "Each" refers to every boy individually.
2. Each of the soldiers was brave.
→ Again, "each" emphasizes that every soldier was brave.
3. Each of you carry these gifts.
→ "Each" is used for individuals in the group "you." Note: The verb should be singular ("carries"), but since the sentence says "carry," it might be a typo or intended as plural. But grammatically, it should be:
✔ Each of you carries these gifts.
However, since we're only filling the blank, the correct pronoun is Each.
4. Each of the children got a gift from Santa Claus.
→ Each child received a gift individually.
5. Either road will lead to the airport.
→ "Either" means one or the other of two roads. This is appropriate here because there are likely two roads being referred to.
✔ Final Answers for F:
1. Each
2. Each
3. Each
4. Each
5. Either
> 🔍 Note: "Each" is used when referring to individual members of a group. "Either" is used for two options.

Possessive pronouns show ownership without using a noun (e.g., *mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs*).
Example:
That is their house. → That house is theirs.
We need to rewrite each sentence so that the possessive pronoun replaces the noun phrase.
Let’s go through them:
1. That is her book.
→ That book is hers.
*(“hers” = her book)*
2. This is his class.
→ This class is his.
*(“his” = his class – note: no “s” added)*
3. This is your house.
→ This house is yours.
*(“yours” = your house)*
4. That is my school.
→ That school is mine.
*(“mine” = my school)*
5. That is her necklace.
→ That necklace is hers.
*(“hers” = her necklace)*
6. This is my bottle.
→ This bottle is mine.
*(“mine” = my bottle)*
7. Those are my shirts.
→ Those shirts are mine.
*(“mine” = my shirts)*
8. Those are my girls.
→ Those girls are mine.
*(“mine” = my girls)*
9. These are her cars.
→ These cars are hers.
*(“hers” = her cars)*
✔ Final Answers for G:
1. That book is hers.
2. This class is his.
3. This house is yours.
4. That school is mine.
5. That necklace is hers.
6. This bottle is mine.
7. Those shirts are mine.
8. Those girls are mine.
9. These cars are hers.
