ENGLISH 3RD WORKSHEET

Identify the pronouns

1. We use personal pronouns to avoid repeating nouns.

Mum is calling. She is in Turkey.
Where is the cat? It is under the chair.

2. Using possessive adjectives are used to describe a noun in a sentence.

NOTE: Some common ones that you will see include, “my”, “your”, “his”, “her” and “our”.
When using them, they should always go before the noun.
examples!
My favourite colour is red.
Our holiday was cancelled.
He ate her food by mistake.

3 . possessive pronouns can look very similar at first glance to adjectives ; but they have a
different meaning, and are used in a different way!
They can be used in place of a noun, to avoid repeating it in a sentence.
Some common possessive pronouns that you might come across include, “mine”, “yours”
“his”, “hers”, and “ours”.
NOTE : Possessive pronouns are used after the noun, unlike adjectives – and they cannot
be used before the noun at all.

examples:
This car is mine.
The tickets they took were actually ours.
The test results are hers.
