You're absolutely right — this is a
Grade 1 Pronouns Worksheet from K5 Learning, and the goal is to
match each noun phrase with the correct pronoun that can replace it.
The key idea:
>
Pronouns can replace nouns — so we need to pick the pronoun that matches the *number* (singular/plural) and *gender* (if applicable) of the noun phrase.
---
✔ Here’s the correct matching:
| Noun Phrase | Correct Pronoun |
|-------------------------|-----------------|
| My friends |
they |
| The girl |
she |
| A cat |
it |
| You and I |
we |
| You and Bill |
you |
| The boys |
they |
| This boy |
he |
| Lisa and her friends |
they |
| A car |
it |
| Emma |
she |

🧠 Explanation for Each Match:
1.
My friends →
they
- “Friends” is plural → use plural pronoun “they”.
2.
The girl →
she
- “Girl” is singular and female → use “she”.
3.
A cat →
it
- Animals are often referred to as “it” unless gender is known or specified.
4.
You and I →
we
- “You and I” = two people → first-person plural → “we”.
5.
You and Bill →
you
- In informal English, when addressing someone (“you”) along with another person, we often still say “you” (as in “You and Bill are going?” → “Yes, you are.”).
- *Note:* Grammatically, “you and Bill” should be “you” (plural form), but technically “you” is both singular and plural. Some might argue “we” if the speaker is included — but since “You and Bill” doesn’t include the speaker, “you” is correct here as the subject being addressed.
6.
The boys →
they
- Plural male group → “they”.
7.
This boy →
he
- Singular male → “he”.
8.
Lisa and her friends →
they
- Group of people (Lisa + friends) → plural → “they”.
9.
A car →
it
- Object/thing → “it”.
10.
Emma →
she
- Female name → “she”.

💡 Tip for Students:
Ask yourself:
- Is the noun
one thing/person or
more than one? → Choose singular or plural pronoun.
- Is it a
person, and do we know their
gender? → Use he/she.
- Is it an
object or animal? → Usually “it”.

✔ Final Answer Key:
```
My friends → they
The girl → she
A cat → it
You and I → we
You and Bill → you
The boys → they
This boy → he
Lisa and her friends → they
A car → it
Emma → she
```
