Step-by-step solution for: Possessives Worksheet-1 - skoolon.com
It looks like the image you uploaded is a worksheet titled "Possessives" from skoolon.com, and it asks students to fill in the blanks with appropriate possessive pronouns: *my, your, his, her, its, our, their*.
However, some parts of the text are cut off or obscured due to a large yellow banner at the bottom (promoting the website), and some sentences are incomplete. I will solve the visible portions of the worksheet based on standard grammar rules and logical context.
Let’s go through each sentence one by one:
---
✔ Answer: my
👉 "This is my cat." — The speaker owns the cat.
---
✔ Answer: Their
👉 "Their mother is a teacher." — Both girls share the same mother.
---
✔ Answer: your
👉 "Can you please pass your book to me?" — Asking for someone else's book.
---
✔ Answer: its
👉 "The dog wagged its tail." — Refers to the dog’s own tail.
---
✔ Answer: our
👉 "It's our turn..." — We are taking turns together.
---
✔ Answer: our
👉 "The students in our class..." — The speaker is part of that class.
---
✔ Answer: their
👉 "These are their toys." — Belonging to others.
---
✔ Answer: Our
👉 "Our parents are coming..." — The speaker and others' parents.
---
✔ Answer: his / her / its / mine / yours / theirs — But most likely: his or hers
👉 Since no specific person is mentioned, but the sentence is about ownership, and it's singular, common choice is:
➡️ his (assuming male owner).
But could also be hers, mine, etc., depending on context.
Since no name is given, his is a safe default unless specified otherwise.
✔ Best answer: his
---
✔ Answer: their
👉 "Max and Mia are going to their grandmother's house." — Shared family member.
---
✔ Answer: its
👉 "The red car is fast, but its car is even faster." — Wait, this sounds odd.
Actually, if comparing two cars, likely:
"but the other car is even faster" — but since we need a possessive pronoun, probably:
➡️ "but her car is even faster" or "his car" — but no subject given.
Wait — likely typo or missing info. But assuming a comparison between two people's cars:
✔ Best fit: her or his — but without context, let’s assume his.
Alternatively, perhaps it was meant to be:
"but that car is even faster" — but we must use possessive.
So:
✔ Answer: his (or her) — but since no clear antecedent, his is acceptable as a placeholder.
But actually, better to say:
"but its car" doesn’t make sense — a car can't own another car.
Ah! So the sentence is likely:
"The red car is fast, but the black car is even faster" — but again, we need a possessive.
Wait — perhaps it should be:
"The red car is fast, but her car is even faster."
So, likely intended:
✔ Answer: her or his — but without more context, we’ll go with:
👉 his
---
✔ Answer: your
👉 "Sarah, is this your jacket?" — Asking if it belongs to her.
---
✔ Answer: their
👉 "The birds are building their nests." — Nests belong to the birds.
---
✔ Answer: Our
👉 "Our teacher is giving us a math test." — The teacher belongs to the students.
---
✔ Answer: my
👉 "I love my new backpack." — Belongs to the speaker.
