Exercise 2 – Use the Appropriate Pronoun

*Pronouns replace nouns. We need to pick the right one based on who is doing the action or receiving it.*

1. Shyam is my brother. We study in the same class.
*(Use "We" because it includes "I" and Shyam).*
2. Between Ritu and me, I am the younger one.
*(Use "I" because it is the subject of the verb "am").*
3. Do you see this book with my name on it? It is mine.
*(Use "mine" to show possession without repeating "book").*
4. Miss Gwen is our new class teacher. She is very sweet.
*(Use "She" for a female teacher).*
5. While cutting vegetables, Mitu cut herself.
*(Use "herself" because Mitu did the action to her own body).*
6. The jury got divided among themselves.
*(Use "themselves" because the jury is a group acting on each other).*
7. I’m coming too. Please wait for me.
*(Use "me" as the object of the preposition "for").*
8. Nobody but he was present.
*(Technically "he" is correct here because it renames the subject "Nobody", though "him" is often used in casual speech).*
9. This book is better than the other.
*(Use "This" to point to a specific singular item).*
10. Is the mug yours? It was on your table.
*(Use "yours" to ask about ownership).*

Exercise 3 – Underline the Preposition

*Prepositions show the relationship between words, usually regarding location, direction, or time.*

Here are the prepositions found in the passage:

Goldilocks used to live with her parents in a cabin near the forest. One day, she decided to go for a walk. She strolled down the lane that led to the forest and came across a cottage. Feeling intrigued, she decided to check whose house it was. She knocked on the door, but no one answered. Then she decided to go in and check. Once she came into the cottage, she saw three soup bowls kept on the table. Feeling hungry, she drank the soup out of the smallest bowl. She saw a flight of stairs that led to a room above.

She decided to go and see the rooms. On reaching the rooms, she saw there were three beds. Feeling sleepy with all the walking and hot soup, she decided to take a nap and slept on the smallest bed. When she woke up, she saw three bears standing in front of her, and the smallest bear among them crying loudly. Terrified, she started screaming and ran past the bear family to reach her home.

*(Note: Words like "down," "above," and "up" can sometimes be adverbs depending on the sentence, but in this context, they function as prepositions showing direction or location relative to something else.)*
