Step-by-step solution for: Possessive Pronouns Worksheets
It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled "Possessive Pronouns". The task is to complete sentences using the correct possessive pronoun (e.g., *my, your, his, her, its, our, their*). Here's how to solve and explain each item based on the visual content:
---
Complete the sentences with the correct possessive pronoun.
---
#### 1. Robert paints well. He paints ________ pictures.
- Clue: Robert is male and singular.
- Correct answer: his
- ✔ Sentence: *"He paints his pictures."*
- 💡 Explanation: "His" shows ownership by Robert.
---
#### 2. It is my coat. It is ________ coat.
- Clue: The speaker owns the coat.
- Correct answer: my
- ✔ Sentence: *"It is my coat."*
- 💡 Explanation: "My" indicates possession by the speaker.
---
#### 3. The boy wears ________ clothes.
- Clue: A boy is shown wearing clothes — he owns them.
- Correct answer: his
- ✔ Sentence: *"The boy wears his clothes."*
- 💡 Explanation: "His" refers to the boy’s belongings.
---
#### 4. Who is that? ________ is John.
- Clue: We’re identifying someone — the subject is "John."
- Correct answer: He
- ✘ Wait — this one is tricky! But note: The sentence says "________ is John", so it needs a subject pronoun, not a possessive pronoun.
- However, since the title says "Possessive Pronouns," maybe there's a typo or mislabeling.
- But looking at the options given in the boxes: *my, your, his, her, its, our, their* — none of these are subject pronouns.
- So perhaps the intended question was meant to be:
> "That is John. ________ is his name." → then "His" would work.
- But as written: "Who is that? ________ is John." → should be "He" (subject pronoun), which isn't listed.
- ⚠️ Likely error in the worksheet. If we must use a possessive pronoun, it doesn’t fit here.
- ✔ Best interpretation: This might be a mistake. If forced to choose from possessives, skip or mark as invalid.
- But if the question were: *"That is John. ________ name is John."* → Then answer is His.
- Let's assume it's a typo and meant to be: *"That is John. ________ name is John."* → Answer: His
→ Answer: His
---
#### 5. The cat belongs to me. It is ________.
- Clue: The cat belongs to the speaker.
- Correct answer: mine
- ✔ Sentence: *"It is mine."*
- 💡 Explanation: "Mine" is the possessive pronoun for "my". It stands alone without a noun.
---
#### 6. We're on vacation. ________ is fun.
- Clue: "We're" = "We are" → plural, first person.
- Correct answer: Our
- ✔ Sentence: *"Our vacation is fun."*
- But wait — the blank is after "_______ is fun" — no noun!
- So again, this is problematic. The sentence is missing the noun.
- If it said: *"_______ vacation is fun."* → then answer is Our
- But as written: *"_______ is fun."* → needs a noun.
- Possible correction: *"This vacation is fun."* or *"Our vacation is fun."*
- Assuming the full sentence is implied: *"Our vacation is fun."* → answer is Our
- ✔ Answer: Our
