Let's solve this Pronoun Worksheet 3 step by step, using the pictures as guides to choose the correct pronoun in each sentence.

1. He/She is kicking the ball.

Picture: A girl (with pigtails, wearing a red jersey) is kicking a soccer ball.

- The person is female, so we use "She".
- ✔ Correct answer: She

> Answer: *She is kicking the ball.*

2. This is my/their hat.

Picture: A boy with a red hat on his head.

- The hat belongs to one person (the boy), not a group.
- "My" means it belongs to me (the speaker), but here the picture shows someone else wearing the hat.
- However, the sentence says "This is my/their hat", and the picture shows a single boy with a hat — implying his hat.
- But the options are "my" or "their".
- Since the boy is one person, and "their" refers to plural, it doesn't fit.
- "My" would only make sense if the speaker owns it, but the image doesn't suggest that.

Wait — let’s reconsider: the sentence is "This is my/their hat." and the picture shows a boy with a hat.

But since the boy is singular, and the choices are my (singular possessive) or their (plural), the correct choice should be "my" only if the speaker owns it — but we don’t know that.

Actually, in context, "their" is used for plural, and the boy is singular, so neither fits perfectly.

But perhaps the intention is to teach possessive pronouns, and the boy is shown wearing the hat — so "my" could be used if the speaker is the boy.

But the sentence structure suggests the speaker is referring to the hat belonging to someone.

Since the boy is alone, and there's no indication of multiple people, "their" is incorrect.

So likely, the intended answer is "my", assuming the boy is speaking about his own hat.

But wait — the sentence is written in third person: “This is my/their hat.” — which implies the speaker is not the person in the picture.

So if the speaker is referring to the boy's hat, then "his" would be correct — but it's not an option.

We have only "my" or "their".

That’s a problem.

But looking at the options again: maybe the worksheet assumes the child is identifying the correct pronoun based on the picture, not the speaker.

Alternatively, perhaps the picture is meant to show "this is my hat" from the boy's point of view.

So if the boy is saying "This is my hat", then "my" is correct.

✔ Answer: my

> Answer: *This is my hat.*

(Though ideally, it should be "his", but since "his" isn't an option, and "their" is plural, "my" is the best choice if we assume the boy is speaking.)

3. It/They are dancing.

Picture: Two people (a man and a woman) are dancing together.

- There are two people, so the subject must be plural.
- "It" is singular; "They" is plural.
- So, "They" is correct.

✔ Answer: They

> Answer: *They are dancing.*

4. You/It is a blue bag.

Picture: A blue shopping bag.

- The object is inanimate (a bag), so we use "It".
- "You" refers to a person, not an object.
- So, "It" is correct.

✔ Answer: It

> Answer: *It is a blue bag.*

---

5. He/She is standing up.

Picture: A boy (blonde hair, striped shirt) is standing.

- The person is male, so we use "He".
- ✔ Answer: He

> Answer: *He is standing up.*

---

6. I/It is eating grass.

Picture: A cow is eating grass.

- The animal is not a person, so we use "It".
- "I" is first-person and refers to the speaker — not the cow.
- So, "It" is correct.

✔ Answer: It

> Answer: *It is eating grass.*

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. She is kicking the ball.
2. This is my hat. *(Note: Ideally "his", but "my" is the only viable option given)*
3. They are dancing.
4. It is a blue bag.
5. He is standing up.
6. It is eating grass.
