Noun - Pronoun Agreement

Pronouns are a good way to keep from repeating
nouns too often. A pronoun takes the place of a
noun and must agree with it in number (singular
or plural), case (subject or object), gender (male
or female), and person. Person shows whether the
noun is speaking (I, we), spoken to (you), or
spoken about (he, she, it, they).
Choose the correct pronoun to fill in the blanks
in the following sentences.
1) Matthew hopes that someone will give (him,
he, his) a Lego set for his birthday.
2) Did Miranda say whether (she, her, hers)
would be allowed to go to the party?
3) Please give the books to (she, her, hers) so she
can pass them out.
4) Jason wants me to give the ball to (him, he,
his).
5) Carlos, why are (he, you, your) walking that
way?
