Let's solve the worksheet step by step. The goal is to
replace the underlined noun(s) in each sentence with the correct
pronoun that matches its role (subject or object) in the sentence.
We are given a list of pronouns:
-
Subject Pronouns: *he, she, it, they, we, I*
-
Object Pronouns: *him, her, it, them, us, me, you*
Remember:
- Use
subject pronouns when the word is the
doer of the action (subject).
- Use
object pronouns when the word is receiving the action (object).
