Q3 15

Question 3: 'There' is used to show that something belongs to a person.

Q4 15

Q7 15

Question 7: A: Where is the cat? B: It is ___ under the chair.

Question 7 options
'There' is correct because the speaker is pointing to a place. 'Their' shows ownership and does not fit a question about location.
Q8 15

Question 8: The team wore ___ uniforms to the game.

Question 8 options
'Their' is correct because the uniforms belong to the team. 'There' refers to a place, not ownership, so it cannot be used here.

Question 9 options
  • a cat
  • there.
  • is
  • There

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct sentence is 'There is a cat there.' The first 'There' introduces existence, and the second 'there' points to the location.
Q10 15

Question 10: ___ are many dogs in the park.

Question 10 options
'There' is correct because it introduces the existence of something. 'Their' shows ownership and cannot start this kind of sentence.
Q11 15

Question 11: You are writing a simple note to a friend about a place to meet. Which is correct?

Question 11 options
'Meet me there' uses 'there' to point to a location, which is correct. 'Meet me their' is wrong because 'their' shows ownership, not place.
Q12 15

'Their' is a possessive adjective. It shows that something belongs to a group. 'There' is an adverb of place, not a possessive word.
Q13 15

Question 13: You can use 'their' to talk about a place, like in the sentence 'Put the book their.'

Q14 15

Question 14: Look over ___! I can see a bird!

Question 15 options
'Their' in this sentence means the cat belongs to the kids. It does not point to a place or show existence.
