Pronouns 2 Worksheet - Free Printable

Let's solve this Grade 3 Pronouns Worksheet step by step.

The goal is to replace the underlined nouns in each sentence with the correct pronoun. A pronoun replaces a noun to avoid repetition and make sentences smoother.

---

🔹 Rule Reminder:

Pronouns replace nouns. Common pronouns:
I, me, you, he, him, she, her, it, we, they, them, us

We need to pick the correct pronoun based on:
- The person (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
- The number (singular or plural)
- The case (subject or object)

---

Now, let’s go through each sentence:

---

1. Elizabeth came downstairs to answer the door.

- Underlined noun: *Elizabeth* → a girl's name
- Replace with: She (subject pronoun)
✔ She came downstairs...

> ✔ Answer: She

2. Frank gave a hand to his brother, and they fixed the bike together.

- Underlined noun: *Frank* (and implied "his brother")
- But the sentence says "they fixed the bike" — so both Frank and his brother are involved.
- So we’re replacing Frank and his brother → two people, so use they
- However, note: "Frank gave a hand to his brother" – the subject is Frank, but since "they" already refers to both, we need to see what's being replaced.
- Wait: only Frank is underlined? Let's check:
> "Frank gave a hand to his brother..." — only *Frank* is underlined.

But the sentence says "they fixed the bike together", which includes both Frank and his brother.

So if we're replacing Frank with a pronoun, it should be he.

But the sentence structure is:
"He gave a hand to his brother, and they fixed the bike together."

That works grammatically.

✔ Answer: He

> Note: The worksheet may expect He as the replacement for Frank.

---

Wait! Let's double-check: Is Frank the only underlined noun?

Yes — only Frank is underlined.

So we replace Frank with he.

✔ He gave a hand to his brother, and they fixed the bike together.

> ✔ Answer: He

3. Your goldfish looks healthy.

- Underlined: *Your goldfish*
- "Your" is possessive, but we're replacing the noun — *goldfish*
- *Goldfish* is singular, neuter (no gender), so use it
- Replace: It looks healthy

✔ Answer: It

4. You and Max visited the museum last week.

- Underlined: *You and Max*
- This is a compound subject: you + Max
- We need a pronoun that replaces both
- Since "you" is included, and "Max" is a person, we use you and he → but we can’t write two pronouns unless needed
- But the blank is one space — likely expecting you and he or just you?
- But wait: the instruction says "replace the underlined nouns" — and the underlined part is "You and Max"
- So we need to replace both nouns
- "You" → you (remains same)
- "Max" → he
- So the full replacement is: You and he

But that might be awkward. In grammar, when replacing compound subjects, we use pronouns in the same order.

So: You and he visited the museum.

✔ Answer: You and he

> Note: Some teachers accept You and him — but him is object form; here it's subject, so he is correct.

✔ Correct: You and he

5. The books are on the shelf by the window.

- Underlined: *The books*
- Plural, so use they
- Replace: They are on the shelf...

✔ Answer: They

6. Artie and I will play soccer next summer.

- Underlined: *Artie and I*
- Both are subjects
- Replace: He and I — but wait: Artie is a name, likely male → he
- So: He and I will play soccer...
- But again, we need to preserve order: Artie comes first → He and I

✔ Answer: He and I

> Note: It’s acceptable to say “He and I” — though sometimes “I and he” is preferred in formal writing, but “He and I” is more natural.

✔ Final: He and I

7. She told her friend the ending of the movie.

- Underlined: *her friend*
- "Her friend" → the person being told
- So we need an object pronoun for "friend"
- Who is the friend? Not specified, but we know it’s someone else — so use him/her or them?
- But since "her" is used, likely female → her
- But the pronoun must be in object case because it's the object of "told"
- So: She told her the ending...
- "Her" is correct — object pronoun

✔ Answer: her

---

8. Martin thanked his dad before getting out of the car.

- Underlined: *his dad*
- "His dad" → father of Martin → so we’re replacing "dad"
- Subject? No — "his dad" is the object of "thanked"
- So use him (object pronoun)
- Martin thanked him...

✔ Answer: him

---

9. The teacher looked at you and Janet for the answer.

- Underlined: *you and Janet*
- Both are objects of "looked at"
- So use object pronouns
- "You" → you
- "Janet" → her (assuming female)
- So: you and her

✔ Answer: you and her

> Note: "You and her" is correct in grammar (though some find it awkward). "You and she" would be wrong here because "she" is subject form.

✔ Correct: you and her

10. Irene put the plates on the table beside the utensils.

- Underlined: *the plates*
- "Plates" is plural, neutral
- Use them
- Irene put them on the table...

✔ Answer: them
