Which of the following is a possessive pronoun?
my
me
I
mine
The word 'mine' is a possessive pronoun that stands alone to indicate ownership. In contrast, 'my' is a possessive adjective that must modify a noun.
Select the possessive pronoun in the sentence: 'The bike is hers.'
bike
The
hers
is
In the sentence provided, 'hers' functions as a possessive pronoun that replaces a noun phrase to show ownership of the bike.
Which possessive pronoun best completes the sentence: 'This pen is ___.'?
yours
you're
you
your
The correct choice is 'yours' because it is a possessive pronoun that stands alone without a following noun. 'Your' is a possessive adjective and cannot be used alone in this context.
Choose the correct possessive pronoun to complete: 'Is this jacket ___?'
me
I
mine
my
Using 'mine' correctly replaces the noun phrase to indicate ownership. It is the appropriate possessive pronoun when the noun it refers to is omitted.
Identify the possessive pronoun in the sentence: 'The house on the corner is ours.'
ours
on
corner
house
The word 'ours' is the possessive pronoun in this sentence, indicating that the house belongs to us. It replaces a noun phrase that would otherwise state the owner explicitly.
Which of the following sentences uses a possessive pronoun correctly?
This is me pencil.
This pencil is mine.
This pencil is my.
This is my pencil.
The sentence 'This pencil is mine.' correctly uses the possessive pronoun 'mine' as a substitute for the noun phrase. This shows clear ownership without needing to pair a noun with 'my'.
Replace the noun phrase with a possessive pronoun: 'Sarah's notebook' in 'The notebook is Sarah's.' Which is correct?
hers
her
herself
she
The possessive pronoun 'hers' correctly replaces 'Sarah's notebook' to indicate ownership. It stands alone and conveys the same meaning without repeating the noun.
Identify the error in the sentence: 'That is mine book on the table.'
The sentence is correct.
The word 'book' should be capitalized.
The word 'mine' should be 'my'.
The structure of the sentence is awkward.
When a noun follows immediately, a possessive adjective is required instead of a possessive pronoun. 'My' is appropriate before the noun 'book', while 'mine' is used independently.
Which sentence incorrectly uses a possessive pronoun?
This desk is my.
The results are ours.
The decision was hers.
Those keys are theirs.
The sentence 'This desk is my.' incorrectly uses 'my', which is a possessive adjective. To stand alone, the possessive pronoun 'mine' is required.
Fill in the blank with the correct possessive pronoun: 'I lost my phone, and now I can't find __.'
I
my
me
mine
The correct choice is 'mine' because it functions as a possessive pronoun replacing 'my phone' in the sentence. This clarifies ownership without repeating the noun.
Which of these pairs are both possessive pronouns?
hers, ours
their, there
my, me
your, you're
Both 'hers' and 'ours' serve as possessive pronouns that stand alone to indicate ownership. The other pairs include words that do not function as possessive pronouns.
Complete the sentence with the appropriate possessive pronoun: 'These bikes are not yours; they are __.'
you're
you
yours
your
The possessive pronoun 'yours' correctly indicates ownership of the bikes when used independently. It replaces the noun phrase that would normally describe ownership.
Which sentence uses a possessive pronoun correctly to express ownership?
These pencils are you.
That is our car.
The coat is hers.
The hat is my.
In the sentence 'The coat is hers.', the possessive pronoun 'hers' is used correctly to indicate ownership without modifying a following noun.
Complete the sentence: 'I found a wallet. It must be __.'
me
mine
I
my
The correct possessive pronoun 'mine' replaces the implied noun phrase and clearly indicates that the wallet belongs to the speaker.
What is the primary function of a possessive pronoun?
To show ownership
To connect ideas
To indicate a location
To describe an action
Possessive pronouns replace noun phrases to indicate ownership. They are used independently without a following noun.
Which sentence demonstrates the correct use of possessive pronouns for indicating ownership of two items?
The blue car is our, and the red car is theirs.
The blue car is ours, and the red car is theirs.
The blue car is ours, and the red car is their's.
The blue car is our's, and the red car is theirs.
This sentence uses the possessive pronouns 'ours' and 'theirs' correctly to denote ownership of the blue and red cars, respectively. The other options misuse possessive forms.
Identify the error in the sentence: 'The assignments are divided among us: the first set is mine, and the last one is your.'
There is no error.
The phrase 'divided among us' is grammatically incorrect.
The word 'your' should be 'yours' when used alone.
The word 'divided' is used incorrectly.
When a possessive pronoun stands alone, the correct form is 'yours' rather than the possessive adjective 'your'. This correction improves clarity in indicating ownership.
Which sentence correctly replaces a possessive noun phrase with a possessive pronoun?
This notebook is she.
This notebook is hers.
This notebook is hers'.
This notebook is her.
The sentence 'This notebook is hers.' correctly replaces the noun phrase with the possessive pronoun 'hers' to indicate ownership. The other options do not use the correct pronoun form.
Which sentence best distinguishes between a possessive adjective and a possessive pronoun?
My cake is on the table, and mine cake is chocolate.
Me cake is on the table, and the chocolate one is mine.
Mine cake is on the table, and the chocolate one is my.
My cake is on the table, and the chocolate one is mine.
This sentence uses 'my' as a possessive adjective modifying 'cake' and 'mine' as a possessive pronoun replacing the noun phrase to clearly show ownership. It effectively distinguishes the two forms.
Which sentence most effectively uses a possessive pronoun to clarify ownership?
I forgot my jacket.
I forgot me jacket.
That jacket is my.
That jacket is mine.
The sentence 'That jacket is mine.' clearly uses the possessive pronoun 'mine' to indicate ownership without ambiguity. The other examples either use adjectives or contain errors.
