Master English Pronouns: Interactive Exercises and Worksheets — Practice Quiz

1 / 5
Q1

Question 1: What is a pronoun?

Question 1 options
A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun to avoid repetition and improve clarity and fluency in writing. For example, 'they' replaces 'John and Mary' in 'John and Mary went to the store because they needed milk.'
Q2

Question 2: The pronoun 'whom' is used to ask about a person as the subject of a sentence.

Question 2 options
This is false. According to the article, 'whom' is used to ask about a person as the object, not the subject. 'Who' is the pronoun used to ask about a person as the subject.
Q3

Question 3: Which sentence correctly uses a pronoun to replace the repeated noun?

Question 3 options
'The cat is sleeping in its bed' correctly replaces 'the cat's' with the possessive pronoun 'its.' The other sentences misuse pronouns: 'their' is wrong for a single cat, 'his' doesn't fit for an animal without a stated gender, and 'them' is an object pronoun, not a possessive.
Q4

Question 4: Match each pronoun to its correct type.

Question 4 options
Myself
This
Who
They
Reflexive pronoun
Interrogative pronoun
Demonstrative pronoun
Personal pronoun

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

'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun (reflexive form for the speaker). 'This' is a demonstrative pronoun (used to refer to something close to the speaker). 'Who' is an interrogative pronoun (used to ask about a person). 'They' is a personal pronoun (used for two or more people excluding the speaker).
Q5

Question 5: In the sentence 'David and I cannot come to the party because ___ are out of town,' which pronoun correctly fills the blank?

Question 5 options
'We' is the correct pronoun because 'David and I' includes the speaker, so the first person plural pronoun 'we' is needed. 'They' excludes the speaker, 'us' is an object pronoun, and 'them' is also an object pronoun.
