Step-by-step solution for: Regular Pronouns Worksheets | I or Me Personal Pronoun Worksheet
Let's solve this grammar worksheet step by step. The task is to fill in the blanks using I, me, my, mine, or myself appropriately.
---
| Pronoun | Use |
|--------|-----|
| I | Subject pronoun (subject of a sentence) |
| me | Object pronoun (object of a verb or preposition) |
| my | Possessive adjective (before a noun) |
| mine | Possessive pronoun (stands alone, replaces a noun) |
| myself | Reflexive pronoun (used when the subject and object are the same person) |
---
Now let’s go through each sentence:
---
1. My colleague forgot to leave the documents for _________.
- "for" is a preposition → needs an object pronoun.
- "Me" is correct here because it's the object of the preposition.
✔ Answer: me
---
2. Tommy told me to book the plane tickets _________.
- After "tickets", we need a possessive word to show ownership.
- We're saying "the plane tickets for me" or "the plane tickets that belong to me".
- But the blank is after "tickets", so we need a possessive pronoun that stands alone.
- "Mine" = "my tickets"
✔ Answer: mine
> ✔ So: *Tommy told me to book the plane tickets mine.*
> Wait — this sounds awkward. Let’s check again.
Actually, this sentence should be:
> Tommy told me to book the plane tickets for me.
But the blank is right after "tickets". That suggests the sentence might be:
> Tommy told me to book the plane tickets for me.
But the blank is at the end? Wait — looking back:
> 2. Tommy told me to book the plane tickets _________.
This seems like it could be missing a reflexive or possessive.
Wait — perhaps it's implying: “book the plane tickets for myself”?
But that would be incorrect — you don’t say “book tickets for myself” unless you’re emphasizing doing it yourself.
But actually, "myself" is not needed here.
Wait — maybe it's: “book the plane tickets for me”? But “me” is not listed as an option unless we use it.
But the instruction says: use I, me, my, mine, or myself.
So possibilities:
- "Tommy told me to book the plane tickets for me" → uses me
- "Tommy told me to book the plane tickets mine" → doesn't make sense
- "Tommy told me to book the plane tickets my" → invalid
Hmm. This is ambiguous.
Wait — perhaps it's: “book the plane tickets for myself”? That’s grammatically okay if you want to emphasize self-reliance, but not common.
Alternatively, maybe the intended meaning is: “book the plane tickets for me”, so me.
But “me” is already used earlier ("told me").
So maybe: “Tommy told me to book the plane tickets for me”.
Yes — so the blank is me.
✔ Answer: me
(Though awkwardly phrased, it's acceptable.)
---
3. Can you tell _________ what happened, please?
- "tell" is a verb → needs an object pronoun.
- "Tell me" is correct.
✔ Answer: me
---
4. I gave them a lift in _________ car.
- "car" is a noun → needs a possessive adjective before it.
- "my car" → so my
✔ Answer: my
---
5. _________ live in Manchester.
- Subject of the sentence → needs subject pronoun.
- "I live in Manchester."
✔ Answer: I
---
6. It was _________ decision to get a divorce.
- "decision" is a noun → needs possessive adjective before it.
- "It was my decision..."
✔ Answer: my
---
7. Alison forgot her guitar so I lent her _________.
- "lent her" → object of "lent" is "her", then "_______" refers to something belonging to the speaker.
- "I lent her mine" = "I lent her my guitar"
✔ Answer: mine
---
8. This is _________ donut.
- "donut" is a noun → needs possessive adjective.
- "This is my donut."
✔ Answer: my
---
9. I need to weigh _________.
- "weigh" is a verb → needs object.
- "Weigh myself" → reflexive pronoun.
- "I need to weigh myself." → yes, because the subject and object are the same.
✔ Answer: myself
---
10. _________ don't know how to play the piano.
- Subject of the sentence → needs subject pronoun.
- "I don't know..." → I
✔ Answer: I
---
11. All the pictures on the wall were _________.
- "were" + blank → needs a possessive pronoun that stands alone.
- "All the pictures... were mine" → yes, means "belonged to me"
✔ Answer: mine
---
12. I usually make _________ something to eat when I get home.
- "make" is a verb → needs object.
- "make myself something" → reflexive pronoun.
- "I make myself something to eat" → correct usage.
✔ Answer: myself
---
13. Please tell Joanne that those jobs are _________.
- "are" + blank → needs a possessive pronoun standing alone.
- "Those jobs are mine" → yes.
✔ Answer: mine
---
14. Theresa asked _________ for advice.
- "asked" is a verb → needs object pronoun.
- "asked me" → correct.
✔ Answer: me
---
15. _________ going to the shops in a minute.
- Subject of the sentence → needs subject pronoun.
- "I am going..." → but "am" is missing.
- The sentence is: "_________ going to the shops in a minute."
- This is incomplete — but likely implies: "I'm going..."
- So blank must be I, and "am" is implied or missing.
- But since only I, me, my, mine, myself are allowed, and the subject is required, I is correct.
✔ Answer: I
---
1. me
2. me
3. me
4. my
5. I
6. my
7. mine
8. my
9. myself
10. I
11. mine
