Let’s go through each part of the worksheet step by step.

Part A: Color the pronouns

We need to color:
- Subject pronouns → blue
- Object pronouns → orange
- Possessive pronouns → yellow

First, let’s remember what each type means:

✔ Subject pronouns – used as the subject of a sentence (who is doing the action):
I, you, he, she, it, we, they

✔ Object pronouns – used as the object (who receives the action):
me, you, him, her, it, us, them

✔ Possessive pronouns – show ownership:
mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs

Now look at the words in the table:

| I | me | mine | them |
|---------|---------|---------|---------|
| him | ours | she | we |

Let’s sort them:

→ Subject pronouns (blue): I, she, we
→ Object pronouns (orange): me, him, them
→ Possessive pronouns (yellow): mine, ours

So:

- I → blue
- me → orange
- mine → yellow
- them → orange
- him → orange
- ours → yellow
- she → blue
- we → blue

Part B: Fill in the blanks

Words to choose from:
her, their, noun, plural, theirs

1. “A singular pronoun must replace a singular ________ and a plural pronoun must replace a ________ noun.”

Think: Pronouns replace nouns. Singular replaces singular, plural replaces plural.

Answer:
→ First blank: noun
→ Second blank: plural

2. “The girl in the white shirt is on ________ way home.”

“The girl” = one person → use singular possessive pronoun that matches “girl” → “her”

Answer: her

3. “Mary and Paul will visit a friend of ________ this weekend.”

“Mary and Paul” = two people → plural → so we need a plural possessive pronoun → “theirs”

(“a friend of theirs” = one of their friends)

Answer: theirs

Part C: Answer in complete sentences using appropriate pronouns

These are open-ended — but we must answer in full sentences and use correct pronouns.

1. “What is your favorite thing to do when you have free time?”

Example answer:
“My favorite thing to do when I have free time is read books because they help me relax.”

(Note: “I” and “they” are pronouns used correctly.)

2. “What do you like about the way your favorite musicians make music?”

Example answer:
“I like how my favorite musicians create melodies because they always sound fresh and exciting.”

(Again, “I”, “my”, “they” are pronouns used properly.)

You can write your own answers — just make sure to use pronouns like I, you, he, she, it, we, they, me, him, her, us, them, mine, yours, etc., where needed.
