Middle School Pronoun Worksheet featuring exercises to practice subject, object, and possessive pronouns.

Let’s go through each exercise one by one. I’ll solve them step by step so you can understand how to pick the right pronouns.

Exercise A: Fill in the correct personal pronoun

We need to choose between subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) and object pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, them). The key is to ask: Is the pronoun doing the action (subject) or receiving the action (object)?

1. Did you think __________ homework was easy?
→ “You” is the subject. The blank is describing whose homework — so it’s possessive. But wait — this says “personal pronoun”, not possessive. Let’s check again. Actually, looking at the sentence: “Did you think ___ homework...” — the blank should be a possessive adjective like “your”. But the directions say “personal pronoun”. Hmm — maybe it’s a trick? Wait — no, let’s look at the other sentences. Maybe some are possessive? Actually, re-reading Exercise A title: “Fill in the correct personal pronoun.” But some blanks clearly need possessive adjectives (like #2: “Everybody left ___ backpack”). That doesn’t make sense for personal pronouns. Perhaps there’s a mistake in the worksheet? Or maybe we’re supposed to use possessive pronouns? Let me check standard grammar.

Actually — upon closer inspection, many of these require possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her, its, our, their), not personal pronouns. For example:

- “Did you think your homework...”
- “Everybody left their backpack” (or “his/her” if singular)

But the worksheet says “personal pronoun”. This might be an error in the worksheet. However, since this is middle school level, and often worksheets mix up terms, let’s assume they mean pronouns including possessive forms, because otherwise most sentences don’t work.

Alternatively — perhaps only some are personal pronouns and others are possessive? Let’s try to fill based on what makes grammatical sense.

Let’s do it carefully:

1. Did you think your homework was easy? → *Possessive adjective*
2. Everybody left their backpack. → *Possessive adjective* (modern usage; traditionally “his” but now “their” is accepted for singular they)
3. I thought he was her fan but then said he was mine. → First blank: object pronoun? No — “he was her fan” → “her” is possessive adjective. Second: “he was mine” → “mine” is possessive pronoun.
Wait — this is getting messy. Let me list all with correct grammar:

Actually, let’s treat this as filling in the correct pronoun form that fits — whether subject, object, or possessive — because the worksheet likely intends that.

Here’s the corrected version with proper pronouns:

1. Did you think your homework was easy?
2. Everybody left their backpack.
3. I thought he was her fan but then said he was mine.
4. The TV has a scratch on its screen.
5. The neighbors said they couldn’t sleep early this year.
6. She hardly knows Kennedy and believes she is going to win the election together. → Wait, “believes ___ is going to win” — who is winning? If it’s Kennedy, then “he” or “she”? Sentence says “Kennedy and believes ___ is going to win together” — probably “they” if both are running? But it says “hardly knows Kennedy and believes ___ is going to win together” — ambiguous. Maybe “he” if Kennedy is male? But we don’t know. Perhaps it’s “they” meaning Kennedy and someone else? This sentence is poorly written. Let’s skip and come back.

Actually, let’s do Exercise B first — it’s clearer.

Exercise B: Write the correct possessive pronoun

These are easier — possessive pronouns show ownership without a noun after them: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.

1. You can clean whatever you want. The choice is yours.
2. All my friends like this cake. Cooking is a favorite activity of mine.
3. My brother and I bought an airplane ticket to Japan. It is ours.
4. The candy belongs to Sarah. It is hers.
5. I bought food for all of us. The food is ours.

That’s straightforward.

Back to Exercise A — let’s reinterpret: perhaps “personal pronoun” here includes all types — subject, object, possessive. We’ll fill based on grammar.

1. Did you think your homework was easy? → possessive adjective
2. Everybody left their backpack. → possessive adjective
3. I thought he was her fan but then said he was mine. → “her” = possessive adjective, “mine” = possessive pronoun
4. The TV has a scratch on its screen. → possessive adjective
5. The neighbors said they couldn’t sleep early this year. → subject pronoun
6. She hardly knows Kennedy and believes he is going to win the election together. → Assuming Kennedy is male, and “together” might be a typo — perhaps “with her”? But let’s say “he” for Kennedy.
7. They won’t always find out to believe in themselves. → Subject pronoun “They”, reflexive “themselves” — but blank is before “won’t”, so “They”
8. Have you bought Hannah a gift for her birthday? → possessive adjective
9. He came home last night and gave some of his kittens. → “He” subject, “his” possessive
10. The man ate almost good corn of theirs. → “theirs” = possessive pronoun (meaning belonging to them)

Now Exercise C: Circle the proper pronoun

This is multiple choice — pick the correct pronoun from options given.

1. In this picture, you see my sister. → “you” is correct (subject)
2. During their vacation, they visited the king and queen and them paid well. → Should be “they” paid well — “them” is object, wrong. So circle “they”
3. Here is the story, read it aloud and see how it goes. → “see” is verb, not pronoun — wait, options must be pronouns? The instruction says “circle the proper pronoun”, so likely choices are like “you/they/he” etc. But in text, it’s written as “read it aloud and see” — probably “see” is not a pronoun. Maybe it’s “and you see”? I think there’s a formatting issue. Looking at original: “Here is the story, read it aloud and see how it goes.” — no pronoun to circle? Perhaps it’s “and [you] see” — so circle “you” if offered. But in the text provided, it’s not clear. Let’s assume the intended answer is “you” for #3.

Actually, let’s list all with correct circles:

1. In this picture, you see my sister. → circle “you”
2. During their vacation, they visited the king and queen and they paid well. → circle “they” (not “them”)
3. Here is the story, read it aloud and you see how it goes. → circle “you”
4. After the negotiations are help up and cut short, we will begin. → circle “we”
5. As Kate sits for tea, her two number them have already arrived. → “them” is object, but should be subject “they” — so circle “they”
6. John didn't think much of himself when he asked Kate to dance with him. → “him” is correct (object of preposition)
7. Kate was known for their charm, there's saying it's playing music not compare to (your, your). → Messy. Probably “it’s” is contraction, not pronoun. Likely circle “your” for “compare to your [music]” — but unclear. Skip for now.
8. If John's uncle thinks about you, can you reply to his letter soon? → no pronoun to circle? Perhaps “you” is already there.
9. When did you hear about Ana, Jim, Henry job interview? → should be “their” job interview — circle “their”
10. I don't want to share all this, sorry works with me. → no pronoun issue?
11. She told him that she loves very much, they love spending the weekend. → “they” should be “we” or “she and he” — but likely circle “they” as is? Not clear.
12. Who is telling good news of your own, your yours? → circle “yours”

This Exercise C has many typos and unclear parts. For a student, I’d focus on the clear ones.

Given the confusion, let’s provide answers for the clearest parts.
