Step-by-step solution for: Grade 3 Grammar Topic 9: Pronouns Worksheets - Lets Share Knowledge
Let's solve this pronoun worksheet step by step.
---
We are given a list of pronouns:
- he, it, I, she, we, you, his, them, us, her, they
Our goal is to replace the underlined noun(s) in each sentence with the correct pronoun from the box. The pronoun should match the number (singular/plural) and person (first, second, third) of the noun it replaces.
---
#### 1. Mom made waffles for Mary and Alexis.
- Underlined: Mary and Alexis
- These are two people — plural.
- They are the objects of the preposition "for" → so we need an objective pronoun.
- The objective form of "Mary and Alexis" is them.
- ✔ Answer: them
> Mom made waffles for them.
---
#### 2. Izabella wore a pink tutu while she practiced ballet.
- Underlined: she
- This is already a pronoun! But let’s check if we need to replace it.
- Wait — the instruction says “replace the underlined” part. Here, “she” is underlined.
- But “she” is already a pronoun. Is it replacing a noun?
- Yes — “she” refers to Izabella, which is a singular female person.
- Since “she” is already correct, but we’re supposed to replace the underlined word with another pronoun from the box? That doesn’t make sense unless there’s a mistake.
Wait — actually, "she" is already a pronoun, and the sentence is correct as is. But the task says “choose a pronoun from the box to replace the underlined.” So perhaps the underlined word is meant to be replaced with a different pronoun?
But that would change the meaning. Let's double-check.
Actually, the underlined word is "she", which is already a pronoun. But the instruction says “replace the underlined,” so maybe the intention is to replace the noun that "she" refers to? But no noun is underlined.
Wait — looking again:
> 2. Izabella wore a pink tutu while she practiced ballet.
So "she" is underlined. But "she" is already a pronoun. There’s no noun to replace it with. Unless the question is asking us to rewrite the sentence using a different pronoun, but that wouldn’t make sense.
Alternatively, perhaps the underlined part is "Izabella", not "she"? But in the image, it says:
> 2. Izabella wore a pink tutu while she practiced ballet.
So “she” is underlined.
This seems like a mistake — or perhaps the intent is to identify what pronoun can replace “Izabella”, but “she” is already correctly used.
Wait — maybe the instruction means: Replace the underlined noun — but here, “she” is not a noun, it’s a pronoun.
Ah! Let's re-read the prompt:
> In each sentence, choose a pronoun from the box to replace the underlined.
But in sentence 2, the underlined word is "she", which is already a pronoun. That doesn't make sense.
Wait — perhaps the underlined word is “Izabella”? But in the image, it says “while she practiced ballet.”
Looking at the formatting, the underlined word is "she".
But that can't be right — because “she” is already a pronoun. We can't replace it with another pronoun without changing meaning.
Unless... the exercise wants us to replace the noun “Izabella” with a pronoun, but “Izabella” is not underlined.
Hmm.
Wait — maybe the underlining is on “Izabella”? Let me assume a possible misreading.
But based on your description, it says:
> 2. Izabella wore a pink tutu while she practiced ballet.
So “she” is underlined.
That suggests the exercise might have a typo.
But let’s consider: Maybe the underlined part is “Izabella” and “she” is not underlined? That makes more sense.
But according to your text, “she” is underlined.
Wait — perhaps the instruction is to replace the underlined noun, but “she” is not a noun.
I think there may be a confusion in the original image.
Let me go back to the original format.
Looking at the way it's written:
> 2. Izabella wore a pink tutu while she practiced ballet.
And “she” is underlined.
But since “she” is already a pronoun, and the instruction says “replace the underlined”, it must be that the underlined word is “Izabella”, not “she”.
Possibility: Typo in underlining.
Let’s assume that “Izabella” is the intended underlined word — because otherwise the task doesn’t make sense.
So:
> 2. Izabella wore a pink tutu while she practiced ballet.
Now, “Izabella” is a noun — a girl’s name.
We need to replace it with a pronoun.
Since she is female, singular, and the subject of the sentence, we use she.
But “she” is already in the sentence.
So replacing “Izabella” with “She”:
> She wore a pink tutu while she practiced ballet.
✔ So answer: she
But wait — “she” is already used twice. Is that okay? Yes — it’s fine.
But the box has “she” available.
So answer: she
But the underlined word is “Izabella” — so we replace it with she.
✔ Answer: she

#### 3. Dad promised Mike and I that he'd be home early.
- Underlined: Mike and I
- This is a compound subject — two people.
- “I” is a subject pronoun, but “Mike and I” is the object of the verb “promised”? No.
Wait: “Dad promised Mike and I…”
The phrase “Mike and I” is the object of the verb “promised”.
So we need an objective pronoun.
But “I” is subjective — incorrect.
Correct form: Mike and me — but “me” is not in the box.
Wait — the box has: us — which is plural objective.
So “Mike and I” → we need to replace it with a pronoun.
But “Mike and I” is two people, so plural.
We need the objective case — us.
But “us” is in the box.
So: Dad promised us that he’d be home early.
✔ Answer: us
Even though “I” is grammatically incorrect in the original, the exercise wants us to replace “Mike and I” with a pronoun from the box.
So we pick us.
> Dad promised us that he’d be home early.
✔ Answer: us
---
#### 4. Benjamin asked Noah and Jonah to be quieter.
- Underlined: Noah and Jonah
- Two boys — plural.
- They are the objects of the verb “asked”.
- So we need an objective pronoun.
- Plural objective pronoun: them
- ✔ Answer: them
> Benjamin asked them to be quieter.
---
#### 5. My brother and myself read to my sister.
- Underlined: myself
- “Myself” is a reflexive pronoun — but here it's used incorrectly.
- The correct form should be I or me.
- “My brother and I” or “my brother and me” — depending on grammar.
But the sentence says: “My brother and myself read…” — “myself” is wrong.
But we are to replace the underlined word — “myself” — with a pronoun from the box.
So we need to replace “myself” with the correct pronoun.
But “myself” is reflexive — not needed here.
The subject is “My brother and [I]” — so we need I.
But “I” is in the box.
So: My brother and I read to my sister.
✔ Answer: I
Note: “myself” is incorrect — it’s a common error.
So we replace “myself” with I.
