Possessive Pronouns Worksheets and Exercises (Free PDF) — Practice Quiz

1 / 5
Q1

Question 1: Which of the following is a possessive pronoun?

Question 1 options
"Mine" is a possessive pronoun. The words "me" and "my" are a personal pronoun and a possessive adjective respectively. "I" is a subject pronoun.
Q2

Question 2: "Its" with an apostrophe (it's) is the correct possessive adjective to use before a noun, as in "The dog wagged it's tail."

Question 2 options
This is false. "It's" with an apostrophe is a contraction of "it is" or "it has." The correct possessive form is "its" without an apostrophe, as in "The dog wagged its tail."
Q3

Question 3: This jacket belongs to Anna. It is _______.

Question 3 options
"Hers" is the correct possessive pronoun to replace "Anna's" when it stands alone without a noun after it. "Her" is a possessive adjective used before a noun, and "she's" is a contraction of "she is."
Q4

Question 4: Match each sentence to the correct possessive pronoun that fills the blank.

Question 4 options
This book belongs to me. It is ___.
That car belongs to Tom. It is ___.
These bikes belong to us. They are ___.
Those keys belong to them. They are ___.
theirs
ours
mine
his

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

"This book belongs to me" → mine. "That car belongs to Tom" → his. "These bikes belong to us" → ours. "Those keys belong to them" → theirs. Each possessive pronoun replaces the noun phrase showing ownership.
Q5

Question 5: Our team won the match! The victory is _______.

Question 5 options
"Ours" is the correct possessive pronoun because it stands alone without a noun after it. "Our" is a possessive adjective that must come before a noun, and "us" is an object pronoun.
