Step-by-step solution for: Class 2 | English Grammar | Pronouns | Activity Based Worksheets ...
Let's solve each part of this worksheet step by step. The task is to fill in the blanks with suitable possessive pronouns.
---
Possessive pronouns show ownership. They replace a noun and indicate who or what owns something.
Examples:
- Mine = belongs to me
- Yours = belongs to you
- His / Hers / Its = belongs to him/her/it
- Ours = belongs to us
- Theirs = belongs to them
They do not need a noun after them (unlike possessive adjectives like *my*, *your*, *his*).
---
Now, let’s go through each sentence:
---
✔ Answer: mine
> "It is mine." → This means the ball belongs to me.
> ✔ "Mine" is correct because it shows possession without needing a noun.
---
✔ Answer: yours
> "My cycle is black but yours is blue."
> ✔ "Yours" = your cycle. It replaces "your cycle" and shows possession.
> ✘ "You" is incorrect — it's a subject pronoun, not a possessive one.
---
✔ Answer: yours
> "This pen is yours." → It belongs to you.
> ✔ "Yours" correctly shows that the pen belongs to the person being addressed.
> ✘ "You" is not correct here — we need a possessive form.
---
✔ Answer: theirs
> "Shobit and Tia could not find theirs."
> ✔ "Theirs" refers to both Shobit and Tia’s books — plural possessive pronoun.
> ✘ "His" or "hers" would only refer to one person.
---
✔ Answer: ours
> "I think those blocks are ours."
> ✔ "Ours" = belongs to us. It's the correct possessive pronoun.
> ✘ "We" and "us" are subject and object pronouns — not possessive.
---
✔ Answer: theirs
> "The house is theirs."
> ✔ "Theirs" means "belongs to them" — matches "they".
> ✘ "Ours" or "yours" would be wrong unless referring to us or you.
---
✔ Answer: his
> "The water hose is his."
> ✔ The gardener is a male (implied), so the hose belongs to him.
> ✘ "Ours" or "mine" don't make sense unless we own it — but the context points to the gardener.
---
✔ Answer: mine
> "Your handwriting is neater than mine."
> ✔ "Mine" = my handwriting. We compare handwriting to handwriting.
> ✘ "Me" or "I" are not possessive — they can't show ownership.
