Let's solve the
"Personal Pronouns" worksheet step by step.
---
Instructions:
-
Circle the pronoun in the second sentence of each pair.
-
Draw an arrow from the pronoun to the
noun it replaces (the antecedent).
---
We’ll go through each item one by one:
---
1. Take off your boots. They are wet.
-
Pronoun: *They*
-
Replaces: *boots*
✔ Circle
They, then draw an arrow from
They to
boots.
---
2. Call Mark after supper. He seemed happy.
-
Pronoun: *He*
-
Replaces: *Mark*
✔ Circle
He, draw an arrow to
Mark.
---
3. Adam and Carol were playing with the kittens. Then, Carol fed them.
-
Pronoun: *them*
-
Replaces: *kittens*
✔ Circle
them, draw an arrow to
kittens.
> Note: "Adam and Carol" are both people, but "them" refers to the
kittens, not the people.
---
4. Mom and dad went shopping. They bought a new dining set.
-
Pronoun: *They*

6. Mark and you are presenting tomorrow. You need to be ready.
-
Pronoun: *You* (in the second sentence)
-

⚠️ This is tricky — the first sentence says "Mark and you", so the second sentence "You need to be ready" refers to
you (the listener).
✔ Circle
You, draw an arrow to
you in the first sentence.
> Note: Although both sentences use "you", it’s referring to the same person.
---
