Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The goal is to understand and correctly use personal pronouns (subject pronouns) in different contexts.
---
We need to replace each noun with the appropriate subject pronoun (e.g., *I, you, he, she, it, we, they*).
1. Mary → She
2. Peter and John → They
3. My dog Silver → He (assuming Silver is male; if not, "She" could be used, but typically dogs named Silver are male in stories)
4. London → It (cities are treated as singular, neuter)
5. The students → They
6. My house → It
7. My sister and I → We
8. Mrs. Parker → She
9. Your mother → She
10. The cat → It
✔ Answers for A:
1. She
2. They
3. He
4. It
5. They
6. It
7. We
8. She
9. She
10. It
---
Now we need to choose the correct pronoun based on context.
1. ______ is my sister. → She
*(Referring to a female person)*
2. ______ is a happy boy. → He
*(Referring to a male person)*
3. ______ is a very hot day. → It
*(Weather/Day is impersonal – “It” is used)*
4. ______ am 15 years old. → I
*(Only "I" can be used with "am")*
5. Tom and I are neighbours. ______ are very good friends. → We
*(“We” refers to Tom and the speaker)*
6. I love my dog. ______ is so clever. → He / She / It
*(But since it’s a pet, “It” is neutral and common. However, if the dog has gender, "He" or "She" may be used. But unless specified, It is safest.)*
→ It (most standard)
7. Laura and Sarah are American. ______ live in Boston. → They
*(Two people → "They")*
8. I live in Ashford. ______ is a nice town. → It
*(“It” refers to Ashford, a place)*
✔ Answers for B:
1. She
2. He
3. It
4. I
5. We
6. It
7. They
8. It

Now let’s go through the paragraph and fill in the blanks logically.

- Personal pronouns replace nouns to avoid repetition.
- Subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) are used as the subject of a sentence.
- Use I for yourself, you for the listener, he/she/it for single people/things, we for groups including the speaker, they for plural people/things.
- It is used for animals, objects, weather, and places when no specific gender is known.
