      Us

    Correct Answer

    We need a subject pronoun for the question. Remember that we use the pronoun 'you' to address one person or more than one. The second part of the sentence illustrates the subject is “you.”

      We

    • D.

      I

    Correct Answer
    C. Me
    Explanation
    We need an object pronoun, and there is no noun or verb before the comma. “Me” is the correct answer here, as it is the only way to correctly refer to oneself in this context.

      Our

    • D.

      Your

    Correct Answer
    D. Your
    Explanation
    We need a possessive adjective before the noun 'house'. Choices A, B and C are wrong because the second sentence clearly illustrates the speaker is asking to watch the match at the other person’s house.

      He/you

    Correct Answer
    C. You/him
    Explanation
    We need a subject pronoun and then an object pronoun. 'Ray' is a male name. The correct answer is “you” to match the “you” in the first sentence, and the only possible match is “him” because Ray is singular. 

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    She is a friend of .................... mother. We play chess with ...................

  • 12. 

    .................. called him 'Little Thumb.'

    • A.

      His

      Her

    Correct Answer

    • A.

      They

    • B.

    • C.

      He

    • D.

      Him

    Correct Answer
    B. Them
    Explanation
    We need an objective pronoun after the preposition 'of,' and it should be plural because the sentence begins with 'one of.'

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    A frog throws up ................ stomach first.

    • A.

      It

    • B.

      Its

    • C.

      It's

    • D.

      Their

    Correct Answer
    B. Its
    Explanation
    The correct possessive pronoun to use here is "its." "Its" is the possessive form of "it," indicating that the stomach belongs to the frog. "It's" is a contraction of "it is" and doesn't fit the sentence's meaning.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    I've read your articles. ................... very good.

    • A.

      It

    • B.

    • C.

      Its

    • D.

      They're

    Correct Answer
    D. They're
    Explanation
    Here, you need a subject + verb. The fourth choice is correct because the word 'articles' is plural, so the sentence needs to state “they are” very good.

      Them

    • D.

      Her

      It's

    • D.

      Their

    Correct Answer
    B. Its
    Explanation
    The correct possessive form is "its." "It" is a pronoun, "it's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has," and "their" is a plural possessive pronoun. The sentence should read, "The bird lost some of its feathers."

    Rate this question:

  • 18.

    We need a possessive adjective before the noun 'mother', and we don't need a verb because we have one with 'is.' “Their” is the possessive way of referring to more than one person.
