Possessive Pronouns worksheet with fill-in-the-blank exercises for language learning.

Let's solve each question in the "Possessive Pronouns" worksheet step by step. The goal is to underline the correct possessive pronoun in each sentence.

---

1. This is Rania’s dress. It is (hers, his).

- "Rania" is a female name.
- We need a possessive pronoun that refers to Rania → hers.
✔ Correct answer: hers

2. Is the blue pen (yours, its) or (its, mine)?

- The first blank: "Is the blue pen ___?" → who does it belong to?
- "Yours" = belongs to you
- "Its" = belongs to the pen itself — but "its" is not used for people or ownership like this; it's neutral and doesn't work here.
- So, yours makes sense.
- Second blank: "or ___?" → comparing with something belonging to me → mine.
✔ Correct answers: yours, mine

3. These are my cards. They are (mine, yours).

- "My cards" → they belong to me, so the correct pronoun is mine.
✔ Correct answer: mine

---

4. These are his shoes. They are (ours, his).

- "His shoes" → they belong to him, so the correct pronoun is his.
✔ Correct answer: his

---

5. This looks like your bag. Is this bag (hers, yours)?

- The question asks: Does this bag belong to you or her?
- "Yours" = belongs to you
- "Hers" = belongs to her
- Since the sentence says “your bag” earlier, we're asking if it's yours.
✔ Correct answer: yours

6. The television is (ours, hers) and (its, theirs) screen is big.

- First blank: "The television is ___" → who owns the TV?
- "Ours" = belongs to us
- "Hers" = belongs to her
- No context says whose it is, but likely referring to a shared item. However, the second part uses "its", which is neutral and refers to the TV.
- But the structure suggests: "The television is [owned by someone]" → ours or hers? Since no clear owner is stated, but we’re using "its" later, the first blank must be ours or hers.
- However, "its" is only used for things, not people. So the TV cannot be "its" — it’s the object.
- So, “The television is ours” makes sense (we own it).
- Second blank: “and ___ screen is big”
- "Its" = the TV's screen → correct
- "Theirs" = their screen → doesn’t make sense
✔ Correct answers: ours, its

7. The book belongs to me. It is not (yours, mine). It is (his, mine).

- First sentence: "belongs to me" → so it’s mine
- Then: "It is not (yours, mine)" → since it belongs to me, it is not yours, so we choose yours
- Then: "It is (his, mine)" → again, it belongs to me, so mine
✔ Correct answers: yours, mine

8. Kim Seng says the ruler is (his, hers) but Nurul says it is (his, hers).

- Kim Seng is male → he would say his
- Nurul is female → she would say hers
✔ Correct answers: his, hers

---

9. This house is not (ours, hers). Our house is next to the police station.

- "Our house is next to the police station" → so our house is near the station.
- Therefore, this house is not ours → so it's not ours
- The other option is hers — could be possible, but the sentence doesn't specify.
- But based on logic: "This house is not ours" → correct.
✔ Correct answer: ours

---

10. My grandparents live in the old farmhouse. The farm house is (his, theirs).

- "My grandparents" → plural, so possessive pronoun should be theirs
- "His" is singular → incorrect
✔ Correct answer: theirs

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. hers
2. yours, mine
3. mine
4. his
5. yours
6. ours, its
7. yours, mine
8. his, hers
9. ours
10. theirs

📝 Explanation Summary:

- Possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs) show ownership without a noun.
- Use "its" only for things (no apostrophe), not for people.
- Match the pronoun to the person or group mentioned.
- Be careful with singular vs. plural and gender.
