Step-by-step solution for: Personal pronouns and possessive adjectives | Farners |
Let’s go step by step through each part of the worksheet.

Part A: Fill the table with the missing pronouns and adjectives
We are given a list of words at the top:
WE, MY, HE, THEIR, US, YOU, ME, THEY, IT, YOUR, HIM, SHE, HER, ITS
And we need to fill in the table under three columns:
1. Subject Pronouns (Before the verb) → These do the action.
2. Object Pronouns (After the verb) → These receive the action.
3. Possessive Adjectives (Before a noun) → Show ownership before a thing.
Let’s match them one by one.
Start with “I” — subject pronoun. What goes after the verb? → “me”. Before a noun? → “my”
Next row: Object is “YOU” → Subject must be “you”, Possessive adjective is “your”
Next: Possessive is “HIS” → Subject is “he”, Object is “him”
Next: Object is “HER” → Subject is “she”, Possessive is “her”
Next: Subject is “IT” → Object is “it”, Possessive is “its”
Next: Possessive is “OUR” → Subject is “we”, Object is “us”
Last: Object is “THEM” → Subject is “they”, Possessive is “their”
So filled table:
| Subject Pronouns | Object pronouns | Possessive adjectives |
|------------------|-----------------|------------------------|
| I | me | my |
| you | YOU | your |
| he | him | HIS |
| she | HER | her |
| IT | it | its |
