1. Where is ________ book that you must write in?
- We’re asking about *your* book — the one belonging to the person being addressed (“you”).
- So we need the possessive pronoun for “you” →
your
✔ Answer: your
---
2. She washes ________ face.
- The subject is “She,” so we need the possessive pronoun that matches “she.”
- That’s
her.
✔ Answer: her
---
3. I bought the book and it’s ________.
- The speaker says “I bought the book,” so now they’re saying it belongs to them.
- The possessive pronoun for “I” (used as a noun) is
mine.
✔ Answer: mine
---
4. ________ brush my teeth.
- This is a sentence starting with the subject. The verb is “brush” (not “brushes”), so the subject must be “I” (first person singular).
- “I brush my teeth” is correct.
✔ Answer: I
---
5. ________ is wearing a dress.
- We need a subject pronoun. Since “a dress” is often associated with females, and “she” is the only feminine subject pronoun available, it fits best here.
- Also, “he” would not typically go with “wearing a dress” unless context says otherwise — but here, no other clues, so
she is most logical.
✔ Answer: she
---
6. ________ is playing rugby.
- Again, we need a subject pronoun. “He” is commonly used for sports like rugby (though not exclusively), and since “she” was used in #5, “he” is likely intended here.
- Also, “he” matches the singular verb “is.”
✔ Answer: he
---
7. He walks ________ dog.
- The subject is “He,” so we need the possessive pronoun for “he” →
his
✔ Answer: his
---
8. We must wash ________ hands before we eat.
- The subject is “We,” so we need the possessive pronoun for “we” →
our
✔ Answer: our
---

## 💡 Explanation Summary:
-
Subject pronouns (I, he, she) are used as the *doer* of the action (e.g., “I brush,” “She is wearing”).
-
Possessive pronouns (my, your, his, her, our, their, mine, yours, etc.) show *ownership* (e.g., “your book,” “her face,” “his dog”).
-
Mine is a standalone possessive pronoun (like “it’s mine”) — it doesn’t need a noun after it.
- Always match the pronoun to the subject or owner mentioned in the sentence!
