Step-by-step solution for: Choosing Pronouns Worksheet
Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the correct pronoun.
---
1. Yesterday, Betty and _____ spent the day at the Museum of Art.
We need a subject pronoun here — who did the action? “Betty and I” is correct because “I” is the subject (doing the spending). “Me” or “us” would be wrong here.
→ I
2. Sheila brought the rock samples down to _____.
This is an object — Sheila gave something *to* someone. So we need an object pronoun. “Them” fits if she gave them to multiple people. “They” is subject, “I” doesn’t fit context.
→ them
3. Stacy said _____ and her sister were going to the movies.
Again, subject position — who was going? “She and her sister” makes sense. “I” or “them” don’t fit.
→ she
4. This is a toy, so I will put _____ on the toy shelf.
The toy is singular → use “it”. “Them” is plural, “we” is people.
→ it
5. That book is mine, so please give it to _____.
Object of the preposition “to” → needs object pronoun. “Me” is correct. “They” or “you” don’t match “mine”.
→ me
6. Mrs. Farnsworth chose _____ to lead the class in today’s lesson.
Object of the verb “chose” → needs object pronoun. “Us” works if it’s a group including the speaker. “I” or “she” are subjects.
→ us
7. Please take this down to _____ so she can use it.
“Her” matches “she” later in the sentence. “He” or “it” don’t match gender/number.
→ her
8. Last Christmas, _____ had to wait until our mom and dad woke up!
Subject pronoun needed. “We” fits with “our mom and dad”. “Her” or “them” are objects.
→ we
9. The man was upset that _____ did not have the tool he needed.
Subject pronoun for who didn’t have the tool. Since it’s “the man”, likely referring to himself or others — but “they” could work if plural. Wait — look: “he needed” suggests singular male. But options are “us”, “her”, “they”. None say “he”. Hmm. Maybe “they” as general? Actually, re-read: “The man was upset that ___ did not have the tool he needed.” If “he” refers to the man, then maybe someone else didn’t have it? Or perhaps typo? But among choices, “they” is only subject pronoun that could refer to others. “Us” includes speaker, “her” is female. Best fit: they (if assuming multiple people lacked tools). Alternatively, maybe intended answer is “he” but not listed. Given options, “they” is most grammatically possible as subject.
Wait — let’s think again. Maybe “the man” is upset that *he himself* didn’t have the tool? Then it should be “he”, but not an option. Next best: if “they” refers to his team or group, that works. “Us” implies speaker included — no indication. “Her” — wrong gender. So → they
Actually, double-checking: sometimes these worksheets assume simple logic. Maybe it’s “he” missing? But since “they” is the only subject pronoun left that isn’t clearly wrong, we’ll go with that.
But wait — another angle: “The man was upset that [someone] did not have the tool he needed.” If “he” = the man, then maybe “they” = other people? Still awkward. Perhaps error in question? But based on available choices, “they” is least wrong.
Alternatively — maybe “us”? No, unless speaker is involved. Not indicated.
I think the intended answer might be “he”, but since it’s not there, and “they” is the only subject pronoun that could technically work (even if odd), I’ll stick with they.
Wait — let me check online or standard usage... Actually, in many such worksheets, they expect “he” for singular male, but since it’s not an option, perhaps it’s a trick. Looking back: Option 9 has “us”, “her”, “they”. “They” can be used for singular now, but traditionally plural. Maybe the worksheet expects “they” as placeholder.
Actually, let’s reconsider: “The man was upset that _____ did not have the tool he needed.” If “he” refers to the man, then the blank is probably NOT the man — so someone else. Could be “they” meaning his coworkers. Yes, that makes sense.
→ they
10. Mark has a test tomorrow so tonight _____ will study.
Mark is male → “he” will study. “I” or “she” don’t match.
→ he
