Personal pronouns worksheet: English ESL worksheets pdf & doc - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet.

Part 1: Choose the correct personal pronouns (he, she, it, they)

We need to pick the right pronoun for each picture and label.

Remember:
- He → for a boy or man
- She → for a girl or woman
- It → for things, animals (sometimes), or objects
- They → for more than one person or thing

Now let’s match:

1. A farmer → looks like a man → he
2. A book → object → it
3. Gloves → plural object → they
4. A dog → animal → usually “it” unless we know its name/gender → it
5. A girl → female child → she
6. Players → more than one person → they
7. A family → group of people → they
8. Kids → more than one child → they
9. A boy → male child → he
10. A boy (again) → same as above → he
11. A rose → flower/object → it
12. A ball → object → it

Wait — let’s double-check #4: “A dog”. In many worksheets, if it’s just “a dog” with no name or gender shown, we use “it”. But sometimes dogs are treated as “he” or “she”. Since there’s no info, safest is it.

Also, #9 and #10 both say “A boy” — maybe one was meant to be “A woman”? Looking at the image description: one says “A boy” with a blonde woman? That might be a mistake in labeling. But based on what’s written:

Actually, looking again — the 10th item says “A boy” but shows a woman? Hmm. Wait — in the original problem, the 10th box says “A boy” but the picture is of a woman? That doesn’t make sense. Let me re-read your input.

You wrote:
> A boy [picture of a woman?] — actually, in your text you said:
“10) A boy” — but then later in part 2, “My mother is thirty” — so probably that picture is meant to be “A woman” or “My mother”.

But since the label says “A boy”, we have to go by the label unless told otherwise. However, in standard worksheets, if the picture shows a woman, even if mislabeled, we should use “she”.

To avoid confusion — let’s assume labels are correct unless obvious error.

Looking back at your original text:

In Part 1, item 10: “A boy” — but in the image description, it might be a woman? Actually, in your initial prompt, you didn’t describe images beyond labels. So I’ll stick to labels.

But wait — in Part 2, sentence 4 is “My mother is thirty.” — which corresponds to the picture of a woman. So likely, in Part 1, the 10th item labeled “A boy” is actually supposed to be “A woman” or “My mother”. Given that, and to match Part 2, I think it’s safe to assume that the 10th item is a woman → she

Similarly, item 9 is “A boy” → he

So corrected list:

1. A farmer → he
2. A book → it
3. Gloves → they
4. A dog → it
5. A girl → she
6. Players → they
7. A family → they
8. Kids → they
9. A boy → he
10. [Woman/Mother] → she
11. A rose → it
12. A ball → it

Yes, that makes sense.

Part 2: Change these sentences using pronouns

Example: My father is tall. → He is tall.

So we replace the subject with the correct pronoun.

1. This ball is small. → Ball is an object → It is small.
2. This rose is red. → Rose is a thing → It is red.
3. My father is a farmer. → Father = male → He is a farmer.
4. My mother is thirty. → Mother = female → She is thirty.
5. Asta is my dog. → Dog = animal → usually “it” unless named and known gender. Here, “Asta” could be any gender, but since not specified, use It is my dog.

Wait — in some contexts, pets are given “he/she”, but without info, “it” is acceptable. However, in many school worksheets, if the pet has a name, they might expect “he” or “she”. But since no gender is given, safest is “it”.

Alternatively, check example: “My father” became “He” — so we’re replacing the noun phrase with pronoun.

“Asta is my dog” — subject is “Asta”, which is a dog. So pronoun for dog → “it”

Unless instructed otherwise, we’ll use “it”.

But let’s see — in Part 1, “A dog” was assigned “it”, so consistent.

Final answers for Part 2:

1. It is small.
2. It is red.
3. He is a farmer.
4. She is thirty.
5. It is my dog.
