Let's go through each section of the worksheet step by step and solve it.
---
A. Color the subject pronouns blue, the object pronouns orange, and the possessive pronouns yellow.
We are given a grid with these pronouns:
| I | me | mine | them |
|-----|-----|------|------|
| him | ours| she | we |
Now let's identify each type:
####
Subject Pronouns (used as the subject of a sentence):
-
I,
she,
we
> These should be colored
blue.
####
Object Pronouns (used as the object of a verb or preposition):
-
me,
him,
them
> These should be colored
orange.
####
Possessive Pronouns (show ownership):
-
mine,
ours
> These should be colored
yellow.
✔ So:
-
Blue (subject): I, she, we
-
Orange (object): me, him, them
-
Yellow (possessive): mine, ours
*(Note: "their" is not in this list, but "theirs" would also be possessive — however, it’s not here.)*

3. Mary and Paul will visit a friend of _________ this weekend.

theirs
