Let's solve this step by step. The task is to
replace the underlined noun in each sentence with the correct
subject pronoun (I, you, he, she, it, we, they).
---
🔹 Rules for Subject Pronouns:
-
I – used for oneself
-
You – used for the person being addressed
-
He / She / It – used for singular people or things (he = male, she = female, it = animals/objects)
-
We – used for a group including the speaker
-
They – used for a group of people or plural nouns

Now let’s go through each sentence:
---
1.
Tom likes hockey.
→ Tom is a male person →
He
✔ He likes hockey.
2.
Fran and Elena are friends.
→ Two people (female names), plural →
They
✔ They are friends.
3.
Sharon and I are students.
→ Includes "I" and another person → We
✔ We are students.
4.
Ana eats sushi.
→ Ana is a female name →
She
✔ She eats sushi.
5.
The bicycle is red.
→ "Bicycle" is an object →
It
✔ It is red.
6.
The children are happy.
→ "Children" is plural →
They
✔ They are happy.
7.
Carol and I are from Canada.
→ Includes "I" and another person →
We
✔ We are from Canada.
8.
The men are in the kitchen.
→ "Men" is plural →
They
✔ They are in the kitchen.
9.
The cats are beautiful.
→ "Cats" is plural →
They
✔ They are beautiful.
10.
The English teacher is wonderful!
→ "The English teacher" is one person (singular). Since gender isn't specified, we use
He or She, but in formal writing, we often use
He/She or just choose based on context. But since it's a general case, and no gender is given, we can use
He or
She — but to be safe and inclusive, many educators prefer
He or She.
However, in most basic grammar exercises like this, if no gender is indicated,
He is commonly used as a default (though outdated). Alternatively,
They can be used as a singular they (gender-neutral), which is increasingly accepted.
But since this seems like a beginner-level exercise, likely expecting a standard answer:
→ Assume the teacher is male →
He
✔ He is wonderful!
*(Note: If the teacher were female, it would be "She", but without info, "He" is conventional in such contexts.)*
