Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to fill in the blank with the correct
possessive pronoun — that means a word that shows who something belongs to, like “mine,” “yours,” “his,” “hers,” “theirs,” etc.
---
**1. This is my project.
This project is ________.**
- The first sentence says “my project” → so it belongs to me.
- The possessive pronoun for “me” is
mine.
✔ So: *This project is mine.*
---
**2. The car belongs to Uncle Sam.
The car is ________.**
- “Uncle Sam” is a man → we use
his for things that belong to a male.
✔ So: *The car is his.*
---
**3. I gave these balloons to you.
These balloons are now ________.**
- You received them → they belong to “you”.
- The possessive pronoun for “you” is
yours.
✔ So: *These balloons are now yours.*
---
**4. Those ribbons belong to Jane.
Those are ________.**
- Jane is a girl → we use
hers for things that belong to a female.
✔ So: *Those are hers.*
---
**5. This house belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Raciles.
This house is ________.**
- It belongs to two people (a couple) → we use
theirs for things that belong to more than one person (or when we don’t specify gender).
✔ So: *This house is theirs.*

Final Answer:
1. mine
2. his
