Possessive Adjectives Worksheet for Educational Use

Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to fill in each blank with the correct possessive adjective from the box:
my, your, our, their, her, its, his

We need to choose the right possessive adjective based on who or what owns the object mentioned.

1. They have a car. This is ____ car.

- "They" refers to a group of people.
- So, the correct possessive adjective is their.
✔ their

2. The cat has a fish. This is ____ fish.

- The cat is the owner of the fish.
- Since we don’t know the gender of the cat, we use its (used for animals and things).
✔ its

---

3. Ali has many books. These are ____ books.

- Ali is a person, and since the name "Ali" is typically used for males (though not always), but in English grammar, when the gender isn't specified, we can still use his if it’s assumed male, or her if female — but here, we must go by context.
- However, "Ali" is often associated with males, so we use his.
- But note: sometimes "Ali" can be female too. But in most educational contexts, his is used unless stated otherwise.
✔ his

> ⚠️ Note: If the teacher wants gender-neutral, their could be acceptable now in modern usage, but traditionally, his is expected here.

✔ his
