Pronoun agreement worksheets | Worsheets library - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the right pronoun from the word bank. Remember: pronouns must agree with the nouns they replace — that means if the noun is singular, use a singular pronoun; if it’s plural, use a plural pronoun. Also, make sure the pronoun makes sense in the sentence.

---

Word Bank 1 (for questions 1–6):
he | it | their | they | she | mine | both

Word Bank 2 (for questions 7–12):
any | it | no one | they | she | mine | both

---

Question 1:

> Mark and Sue said ___ have to go to school on Friday.

Mark and Sue = two people → plural → need “they”
✔ Answer: they

*(Note: The image already has “they” filled in — good!)*

---

Question 2:

> Bob thought that ___ could stay up until midnight.

Bob = one boy → singular → needs “he”
✔ Answer: he

---

Question 3:

> That is not your car. It’s ___.

We’re talking about ownership — whose car? Not yours → maybe mine?
“Mine” means “my car” — fits perfectly.
✔ Answer: mine

---

Question 4:

> The dog was sick, and ___ wouldn’t play fetch with me.

“The dog” = one animal → singular → we can use “it” for animals unless we know gender.
✔ Answer: it

---

Question 5:

> Julie was going to the store when ___ fell off of her bike.

Julie = one girl → singular → “she”
✔ Answer: she

---

Question 6:

> Jason and Jamie asked ___ parents if they could have some money.

Jason and Jamie = two kids → plural → “their” parents
✔ Answer: their

---

Now let’s do questions 7–12 with the second word bank:

Word Bank 2: any | it | no one | they | she | mine | both

---

Question 7:

> ___ has to do homework this weekend.

This is saying someone must do homework. But which pronoun fits?

Look at options: “no one” = nobody → doesn’t fit because someone *has* to do it.
“Any” doesn’t work alone here.
“They” or “she” or “he” — but we don’t have “he”. Wait — actually, “no one” would mean nobody has to — but the sentence says “has to”, so probably NOT “no one”.

Wait — maybe it’s “No one”? Let’s read again:
“No one has to do homework this weekend.” → That makes sense as a statement — meaning nobody is required.

But let’s check other options.

Actually, looking at context — maybe it’s “No one” — because otherwise, who? We don’t have a subject.

Alternatively, maybe “They” — but no antecedent.

Wait — perhaps it’s “No one” — that’s a common phrase.

Let’s hold that thought and come back.

Actually, let’s look at question 8 first.

---

Question 8:

> ___ could talk to her friends on the phone on Tuesdays.

“Her friends” → implies a girl → so “she”
✔ Answer: she

---

Question 9:

> ___ boys thought their parents were going to buy them new shoes.

“Boys” = plural → so we need a plural pronoun that refers to them.

Options: “they” or “both”

“Both boys” = specific two boys → possible.

“They boys” → incorrect grammar — you can’t say “they boys”. You’d say “The boys” or “Those boys”, but not “They boys”.

So “both” works: “Both boys thought...”

✔ Answer: both

---

Question 10:

> The cat was happy, and ___ purred loudly.

Cat = one animal → “it”
✔ Answer: it

---

Question 11:

> ___ both wanted to go to Mexico for vacation.

“Both” is already in the sentence — so we need a pronoun that goes with “both”.

Who are “both”? Two people → so “They both” is correct.

✔ Answer: they

---

Question 12:

> ___ student would be glad to have a day off to play in the snow.

“Student” = singular → so we need a singular pronoun.

Options left: “any”, “no one”, “mine”

“Any student” = any one student → makes sense.

“No one student” → awkward — usually “no student” or “no one”

“Mine student” → wrong — “mine” is possessive, not used before noun.

So best choice: any

✔ Answer: any

---

Now go back to Question 7:

> ___ has to do homework this weekend.

We have left: “no one” and maybe others?

Used so far in Word Bank 2:
Q8: she
Q9: both
Q10: it
Q11: they
Q12: any

Left: no one, and maybe “mine” — but “mine” doesn’t fit.

So for Q7: “No one has to do homework this weekend.” → That’s a complete, logical sentence.

✔ Answer: no one

---

Let’s list all answers clearly:

1. they
2. he
3. mine
4. it
5. she
6. their
7. no one
8. she
9. both
10. it
11. they
12. any

Double-checking:

- All pronouns match the number (singular/plural) of the noun they refer to.
- All sentences make sense grammatically and logically.
- No duplicates misused — e.g., “she” used twice (Q5 and Q8) — that’s fine, different sentences.
- “both” used in Q9 and Q11 — also fine.

All good!

Final Answer:
1. they
2. he
3. mine
4. it
5. she
6. their
7. no one
8. she
9. both
10. it
11. they
12. any
