Let's solve the pronoun worksheet step by step and explain each answer.

Understanding Pronouns:
A pronoun replaces a noun to avoid repetition. It can be:
-
Subject pronouns (e.g., he, she, it, they)
-
Object pronouns (e.g., him, her, it, them)
-
Possessive pronouns (e.g., his, her, its, their)
We need to choose the correct pronoun based on:
1. The
gender of the person/thing.
2. Whether it is
possessive or
subject/object.
3. Singular vs. plural.

Question 1:
>
The poor girl is crying. He / She wants some food.
- "Girl" is female → use
She
- "He" refers to a male; not appropriate here.
✔ Correct answer: She
---
Question 2:
>
Harry loves his / her pet parrot very much.
- Harry is a male name → use
his
- "Her" is for females.
✔ Correct answer: his
---
Question 3:
>
Have you seen my doll? I / It have not seen.
- The subject of the second sentence is
"I" or
"It", but we need to check grammar.
- "I have not seen" = correct grammar (subject + auxiliary verb + past participle).
- "It have not seen" → incorrect because "it" takes "has", not "have".
But wait — let’s read carefully:
“Have you seen my doll? I / It have not seen.”
This is likely meant to be:
“Have you seen my doll?
I have not seen.”
→ So the speaker is saying they haven’t seen it.
So “I” is correct.
✘ “It have not seen” is grammatically wrong — “it” should be followed by “has”, not “have”.
✔ Correct answer: I

Question 4:
>
Kids are eating their / them lunch.
- "Their" is possessive → "their lunch" means the lunch belongs to the kids.
- "Them" is an object pronoun — we don't say "eating them lunch".
- Correct form:
their lunch
✔ Correct answer: their
---
Question 5:
>
Ria forgot his / her bag in the playground.
- Ria is a female name → use
her
- "His" is for males.
✔ Correct answer: her
---
✔ Final Answers:
1)
She
2)
his
3)
I
4)
their
5)
her
