Worksheet for practicing the use of "their" in sentences.

Let's solve this grammar exercise step by step. The task is to fill in the blanks with the correct possessive pronoun "their" in each sentence.

The word "their" is a possessive pronoun used to show that something belongs to or is associated with a group of people (plural). It replaces phrases like "theirs," "his," "her," "its," etc., when referring to multiple individuals.

1. The birds flew to ________ nest.
→ Birds are plural, and they have a nest.
✔ Answer: *their*
✔️ "The birds flew to their nest."

2. The truck hit ________ car.
