Let's solve the worksheet step by step. The task is to fill in the blanks with
'He',
'She', or
'It' based on the subject of each sentence.

Examples Given:
- Leo is sick. →
He is going to see the doctor. *(Leo is a boy → 'He')*
- Molly is hungry. →
She wants to eat now. *(Molly is a girl → 'She')*
- The dog is fierce. →
It is barking loudly. *(Dog is an animal → 'It')*
Now, let’s go through each question:
---
1. Austin is at the playground.
__________ is playing with his friend.

✔ He is playing with his friend.
>
✔ Answer:

2. My cat is thirsty.

- "Cat" is an animal.

✔ It is drinking water.
>
✔ Answer:

---
3. Poppy is my pet parrot.

It
---
4. Dr Jessica works in a hospital.
__________ is a doctor.

She
---
5. Arthur is my brother.
__________ is eight years old.
- "Arthur" is a male name.

---
6. This is my grandmother.
__________ is eight years old.
Wait — this sentence says:
> "This is my grandmother."
> "__________ is eight years old."
But
grandmothers are usually older, not 8 years old! That seems like a mistake.
But assuming the sentence is meant to be correct as written (perhaps a typo), we still need to choose the pronoun.
- "Grandmother" is a female.
- So, even if the age doesn't make sense, the pronoun must be
'She'.
✔ She is eight years old. *(Though logically, that’s odd — probably a typo in the worksheet.)*
>
✔ Answer:
She

✔ Final Answers:
1.
He
2.

3.
It
4.
She
5.
He
6.

📝 Explanation Summary:
- Use
'He' for males (boys, men, male animals if known).
- Use
'She' for females (girls, women, female animals if known).
- Use
'It' for animals, objects, or things when gender is unknown or irrelevant.
Even though #6 has an illogical age, we base our pronoun choice on the noun ("grandmother") — which is female →
She.
