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 male, female, or non-living things
-
We – used for a group including the speaker
-
They – used for multiple people or things
Now let’s go through each sentence:
---
1.
Tom likes hockey.
→ "Tom" is a male person → use
he
✔ He likes hockey.
2.
Fran and Elena are friends.
→ Two people (female names), plural → use
they
✔ They are friends.
3.
Sharon and I are students.
→ "Sharon and I" includes the speaker → use
we
✔ We are students.
4.
Ana eats sushi.
→ "Ana" is a female name → use
she
✔ She eats sushi.
5.
The bicycle is red.
→ "The bicycle" is an object → use
it
✔ It is red.
6.
The children are happy.
→ "Children" = plural → use
they
✔ They are happy.
7.
Carol and I are from Canada.
→ Includes the speaker → use
we
✔ We are from Canada.
8.
The men are in the kitchen.
→ "Men" = plural → use
they
✔ They are in the kitchen.
9.
The cats are beautiful.
→ "Cats" = plural → use
they
✔ They are beautiful.
10.
The English teacher is wonderful! 😊
→ "The English teacher" is one person → use
he or she, but since gender isn't specified, either is acceptable. However, in formal writing, we often use
he/she or just
they (singular they). But in basic grammar exercises,
he or
she is expected. Since no gender is given, we can choose
he as a default or use
they if allowed.
However,
"they" is now widely accepted as a singular pronoun for gender-neutral cases.
✔ They are wonderful! (preferred modern usage)
OR
✔ He is wonderful! (traditional choice)
But since the original says "the English teacher" (singular), and we're replacing the subject, best to use
He/She or
They.
In many school settings,
They is now accepted.
So:
✔ They are wonderful!
> Note: Some teachers may expect "He is wonderful!" but "They" is more inclusive and grammatically acceptable today.

✔ Final Answers:
1.
He likes hockey.

They are beautiful.

They are wonderful! 😊
