Pronouns and Antecedents | Keva Roberts | Live - Free Printable

Let's solve the worksheet step by step. This worksheet focuses on pronouns and antecedents — identifying the correct pronoun for underlined words (or phrases) and matching pronouns with their antecedents.

---

Part 1: Write the pronoun for each underlined word/words

We need to replace the underlined noun(s) with the appropriate pronoun.

1. The girl is going to write a letter to the principal.
→ She

2. Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Smith are the leaders of our club.
→ They (plural, two people)

3. This project requires a lot of work.
→ It (singular, neutral)

4. My friends and I are going to the park.
→ We (first person plural)

5. Mike was the happiest person.
→ He (male subject)

6. The basketball coach told the boys to meet at the basketball court.
→ He or She (gender not specified, but often "he" is used as default unless known otherwise; however, since it's unspecified, he/she could be acceptable in some contexts. But usually, we use he as a default if no gender is given.)

→ He (standard choice when gender is unknown)

7. Damia ride in the car with my friend and me?
→ She (Damia is a female name)

8. the eggs fell on the floor.
→ They (plural, refers to eggs)

Part 2: Write the pronoun first, then its antecedent on the line

We identify the pronoun and the noun it refers to (antecedent).

#### Example:
Gary has a new car. It is red.
→ It new car

Now let’s do the rest:

1. Please wash the dishes after every meal, do not leave them in the sink.
→ Them dishes

2. Percy washed the glasses first because they show dirt.
→ They glasses

3. There is a nest on the tree! Can you see it?
→ It nest

4. Luke and I are brothers. We always help each other.
→ Each other Luke and I (but note: “each other” is a reciprocal pronoun, so it refers back to both Luke and I)
→ Each other Luke and I

However, the instruction says: “Write the pronoun first, then its antecedent.” So:
→ Each other Luke and I

5. Paul and I ride the bus. The driver stops for us.
→ Us Paul and I

6. The red pen is lost. Mrs. Roberts needs it to mark the books.
→ It red pen

7. My grandfather cooked dinner, so mum said, “thank you,” to him.
→ Him grandfather

Explanation:

- An antecedent is the noun that the pronoun refers to.
- In Part 1, we find the pronoun that matches the underlined noun.
- In Part 2, we identify both the pronoun and the noun it refers to.
