Let's solve the exercise step by step.
🔍 Understanding the Concept: Possessive Pronouns
Possessive pronouns show ownership. They replace a noun and indicate who or what owns something.
Here’s a quick reminder from the worksheet:
- I →
my
- You →
your
- He →
his
- She →
her
- We →
our
- They →
their
We
don’t use possessive pronouns like "I" or "she" directly before a noun — we need to use their
possessive form (e.g., *my*, *her*, *your*).

Now, let’s correct each sentence:
---
✔ 1. This is _________(I) book.
- The word in parentheses is
I, which is a subject pronoun.
- But we need a
possessive pronoun to show that the book belongs to me.
- So,
I → my
✔ Answer: This is
my book.
---
✔ 2. _________(she) bag is under the table.
- The word in parentheses is
she, which is a subject pronoun.
- To show possession, we use
her (possessive form of she).
- So,
she → her
✔ Answer: Her bag is under the table.
---
✔ 3. Where is ___________(you) homework?
- The word in parentheses is
you.
- The possessive form of "you" is
your.
- So,
you → your
✔ Answer: Where is
your homework?
---
✔ 4. _________(I) mum is kind.
- The word in parentheses is
I.
- The possessive form of "I" is
my.
- So,
I → my
✔ Answer: My mum is kind.
---
✔ 5. _________(he) teacher is Mr. Peters.
- The word in parentheses is
he.
- The possessive form of "he" is
his.
- So,
he → his
✔ Answer: His teacher is Mr. Peters.
---
📝 Final Answers:
1. This is
my book.
2.
Her bag is under the table.
3. Where is
your homework?
4.
My mum is kind.
5.
His teacher is Mr. Peters.

✔ Tip: Always ask yourself: “Who owns this?” Then use the correct possessive pronoun. For example:
- "This is
my book" = the book belongs to
me.
- "Her bag" = the bag belongs to
her.
