Step-by-step solution for: POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES: English ESL worksheets pdf & doc
I'll solve the problem by filling in the blanks with the correct possessive adjectives. Let me go through each sentence one by one.
First, let me look at the image to understand what's being asked. I can see it's a worksheet titled "POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES" with 24 sentences that need to be completed with the correct possessive adjective (my, your, his, her, its, our, their).
Let me start working through these sentences:
1. Martha is drawing on ___ notebook of school.
- Since Martha is female, the correct possessive adjective is "her".
2. Julie buys some flowers for ___ mom.
- Julie is female, so she would buy flowers for "her" mom.
3. You can take off ___ coat now.
- This is addressing "you", so the possessive adjective is "your".
4. Some pupils are studying ___ lessons in the library.
- "Pupils" is plural, so the possessive adjective is "their".
5. Johnny has lost ___ mobile phone in the bus.
- Johnny is male, so it's "his" mobile phone.
6. We don't like ___ shoes. They are very dirty.
- The subject is "we", so the possessive adjective is "our".
7. Quadri travels to the city to visit ___ parents.
- Quadri is likely male (based on the name), so it's "his" parents.
8. Lovers, please, don't touch ___ cars. It's impolite.
- "Lovers" is plural, so the possessive adjective is "their".
9. I have a new neighbor. Elizabeth is ___ name.
- Elizabeth is female, so it's "her" name.
10. Lisa has bought a new house. ___ wife is very happy.
- Lisa is female, and she's buying a house, so "her" wife (assuming she's married to a woman) or this might be an error in the worksheet since Lisa is typically female. But based on context, it should be "her".
11. He never felt bad. ___ mom tells him that is good for him.
- The subject is "he", so it's "his" mom.
12. Miriam and Susan meet ___ friends in the disco.
- Two females, so plural "their" friends.
13. Brian is very handsome. ___ smile ___ wide.
- Brian is male, so "his" smile.
14. The girls hope to correct ___ mistakes now.
- "Girls" is plural, so "their" mistakes.
15. Shelly can't stand on ___ head.
- Shelly is female, so "her" head.
16. Fred sends emails to ___ friends in Germany.
- Fred is male, so "his" friends.
17. Some girls are wearing ___ hands and shouting.
- This seems to be an error. Probably meant "gloves" or something else, but grammatically, "their" hands.
18. My brother is talking to ___ girlfriend on the phone.
- "My brother" is male, so "his" girlfriend.
19. My grandmother misses ___ husband. He died last year.
- Grandmother is female, so "her" husband.
20. The vet had to get some more money from ___ dad.
- The vet could be male or female, but "dad" suggests the vet is likely referring to someone else's dad. If the vet is speaking, it would be "my dad", but if it's about the pet's owner, it might be "their dad". Given the context, I think it's "his" or "her" dad. Since we don't know the vet's gender, but the sentence structure suggests it's the vet's own dad, I'll go with "his" assuming the vet is male (common assumption).
21. The French friend calls ___ mother every day.
- "Friend" could be male or female, but without specification, I'll assume "his" or "her". Looking at the pattern, I'll use "his" as a default.
22. Richard is ten years old. ___ eyes are blue.
- Richard is male, so "his" eyes.
23. David didn't invite ___ classmates to ___ birthday party.
- David is male, so "his" classmates and "his" birthday party.
Let me double-check my answers to ensure they're correct.
The completed worksheet should read:
1. Martha is drawing on her notebook of school.
2. Julie buys some flowers for her mom.
3. You can take off your coat now.
4. Some pupils are studying their lessons in the library.
5. Johnny has lost his mobile phone in the bus.
6. We don't like our shoes. They are very dirty.
7. Quadri travels to the city to visit his parents.
8. Lovers, please, don't touch their cars. It's impolite.
9. I have a new neighbor. Elizabeth is her name.
10. Lisa has bought a new house. Her wife is very happy.
11. He never felt bad. His mom tells him that is good for him.
12. Miriam and Susan meet their friends in the disco.
13. Brian is very handsome. His smile is wide.
14. The girls hope to correct their mistakes now.
15. Shelly can't stand on her head.
16. Fred sends emails to his friends in Germany.
17. Some girls are wearing their hands and shouting. (This still seems incorrect - probably should be "gloves" or "mittens")
18. My brother is talking to his girlfriend on the phone.
19. My grandmother misses her husband. He died last year.
20. The vet had to get some more money from his dad. (Assuming male vet)
21. The French friend calls his mother every day. (Assuming male friend)
22. Richard is ten years old. His eyes are blue.
23. David didn't invite his classmates to his birthday party.
Note: Sentence 17 appears to have an error in the original worksheet. It doesn't make sense to wear "hands". It should probably be "gloves" or "mittens". Similarly, sentence 20 and 21 make assumptions about gender that aren't specified.
The solution is to fill in the blanks with the appropriate possessive adjectives based on the subject of each sentence.
