Step-by-step solution for: 203 Possessive pronouns English ESL worksheets pdf & doc
It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled "Possessive pronouns" with 25 questions. The task is to complete the sentences using the correct possessive pronoun (e.g., *my, your, his, her, its, our, their*). Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve this based on the text you provided.
Let me reconstruct and solve each sentence step by step, explaining the correct answer and why.
---
1. This is my / mine jacket. Wear / Yours is in the chair.
✔ Correct: This is my jacket. Yours is in the chair.
🔍 *Explanation:* "My" is used before a noun ("jacket"). "Yours" is a possessive pronoun that replaces "your jacket."
2. Where is my / mine pants?
✔ Correct: Where is my pants?
✘ Note: "Pants" is plural, so it should be "Where are my pants?" But grammatically, "my" is correct. "Mine" would be incorrect here because it's not followed by a noun.
✔ Best: Where are my pants? (Grammatically correct)
3. Is this Bobby / Bobby’s hat?
✔ Correct: Is this Bobby’s hat?
🔍 *Explanation:* To show possession, we use the apostrophe + s (Bobby’s).
4. I could speak / speaks only Spanish.
✔ Correct: I could speak only Spanish.
🔍 *Explanation:* "Could" is modal verb; it's followed by base form "speak." "Speaks" is third-person singular, not needed here.
5. Mary / Mary’s coat is on the floor and my / mine is under the chair.
✔ Correct: Mary’s coat is on the floor and mine is under the chair.
🔍 *Explanation:* "Mary’s" shows possession. "Mine" replaces "my coat."
6. I need your / yours help.
✔ Correct: I need your help.
🔍 *Explanation:* "Your" is used before a noun ("help"). "Yours" stands alone (e.g., "The book is yours").
7. They / Theirs is a beautiful hat and I want to simply the best.
✔ Correct: Their hat is beautiful...
✘ Original seems flawed. Likely meant: Their hat is beautiful and I want to buy the best.
🔍 *Explanation:* "Their" is possessive adjective before "hat." "Theirs" would be standalone (e.g., "That hat is theirs").
8. Whose is that / That’s bracelet?
✔ Correct: Whose is that bracelet?
🔍 *Explanation:* "Whose" is the question word for possession. "That’s" = "That is," which doesn’t fit.
9. This is your / yours shoes and that one is Lily / Lily’s.
✔ Correct: These are your shoes and that one is Lily’s.
🔍 *Explanation:* "Shoes" is plural → "these are." "Lily’s" shows possession.
10. That’s lunch is / is my lunch.
✔ Correct: That’s my lunch.
🔍 *Explanation:* "That’s" = "That is." So "That is my lunch" is correct. "That’s lunch is" is ungrammatical.
11. Is this Paul / Paul’s car or your / yours?
✔ Correct: Is this Paul’s car or yours?
🔍 *Explanation:* "Paul’s" shows possession. "Yours" = "your car."
12. That red motorbike is our neighbour / our neighbour’s.
✔ Correct: That red motorbike is our neighbour’s.
🔍 *Explanation:* Use possessive form "neighbour’s" to show ownership.
13. I like / Mine house is bigger than my brother / my brother’s.
✔ Correct: My house is bigger than my brother’s.
🔍 *Explanation:* "My house" (possessive adjective + noun), "brother’s" (possessive noun).
14. I love / Yours too.
✔ Correct: I love yours too.
🔍 *Explanation:* "Yours" = "your [thing]" — implies "I love your [house, car, etc.] too."
15. Bring me the umbrella, My / mine is in the hall and Angela / Angela’s is in the kitchen.
✔ Correct: Bring me the umbrella. Mine is in the hall and Angela’s is in the kitchen.
🔍 *Explanation:* "Mine" = "my umbrella"; "Angela’s" = "Angela’s umbrella."
16. Sarah have / has got tattoos. My / Mine is big and scary, Her / Hers is small and delicate.
✔ Correct: Sarah has got tattoos. Mine is big and scary, hers is small and delicate.
🔍 *Explanation:* "Has got" (British English). "Mine" = "my tattoo"; "hers" = "her tattoo."
17. Where are my / mine jeans? My brother / My brother’s are on the chair.
✔ Correct: Where are my jeans? My brother’s are on the chair.
🔍 *Explanation:* "My" before noun. "Brother’s" = "my brother’s jeans."
18. Have you seen Bob / Bob’s boots? Our / Ours is much smaller.
✔ Correct: Have you seen Bob’s boots? Ours is much smaller.
🔍 *Explanation:* "Bob’s" shows possession. "Ours" = "our boots."
19. She / Her is very kind. I think she / her sometimes teaches her / hers well.
✔ Correct: She is very kind. I think she sometimes teaches her well.
🔍 *Explanation:* "She" is subject. "Her" is object (teaches her). "Hers" would mean "her things," which doesn’t fit.
20. You can see him / His in the mirror. It’s a strange photo.
✔ Correct: You can see him in the mirror. It’s a strange photo.
🔍 *Explanation:* "Him" is object of "see." "His" would be possessive (e.g., "his reflection").
21. He’s afraid of your / yours ghost, It’s crying and it’s making a loud sound.
✔ Correct: He’s afraid of your ghost. It’s crying and making a loud sound.
🔍 *Explanation:* "Your" before noun "ghost." "Yours" would be standalone.
22. Please share you / your / yours. Do you have some?
✔ Correct: Please share yours. Do you have some?
🔍 *Explanation:* "Yours" = "your [food, toy, etc.]" — no noun needed.
23. Look at my uncle / my uncle’s old cars.
✔ Correct: Look at my uncle’s old cars.
🔍 *Explanation:* Possessive form "uncle’s" shows ownership.
24. I’m looking at your / yours picture. It’s beautiful!
✔ Correct: I’m looking at your picture. It’s beautiful!
🔍 *Explanation:* "Your" before noun "picture." "Yours" would be "That picture is yours."
