Mixed Pronouns Practice - Easy Exercises
A1-A2 Level
This exercise brings together all four types of English pronouns. Subject
pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) do the action. Object
pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, them) receive the action or follow
words like "to" and "for." Possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her,
its, our, their) come before a noun to show who owns it: "my book,"
"their house." Possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers,
ours, theirs) stand alone without a noun: "This book is mine," "That house
is theirs."
The most common mistake at this level is confusing possessive adjectives with possessive pronouns. Remember: if a noun follows, use the adjective form (my car); if no noun follows, use the pronoun form (the car is mine). Another frequent error is mixing up "its" (possessive, no apostrophe) and "it's" (short for "it is" or "it has"). This exercise tests all four pronoun types in simple, everyday sentences to help you build a strong foundation.

Quick Rule
subject pronoun + verb + object pronoun | possessive adjective + noun | possessive pronoun (no noun)
- 1.She gave her ticket to him at the door. (subject "she," possessive adjective "her," object "him")
- 2.That isn't my bag — mine is the blue one. (possessive adjective "my" + noun, possessive pronoun "mine" alone)
- 3.We told them about our holiday plans. (subject "we," object "them," possessive adjective "our")
- 4.The cat licked its paw after I fed it. (possessive "its" — no apostrophe, subject "I," object "it")
- 5.They don't know if those books are theirs or yours. (negative — possessive pronouns "theirs" and "yours")
