To choose the correct pronoun for each sentence, we need to look at the subject of the sentence or the context around it. These pronouns help to make sentences clear and avoid repetition of nouns. Let's fill in the blanks with the appropriate pronouns:
Sarthak says that he likes maths.
Who: The subject of the sentence is Sarthak, a name typically associated with a male, so we use "he."
She is a good dancer.
Who: Without specific context, we assume a female subject for this sentence. Therefore, we use "she."
They are playing together.
Who: "They" is used when referring to more than one person. Since the sentence implies a group, "they" is correct.
Rajesh and his sister have gone to Kanpur.
Who: The possessive pronoun "his" refers back to Rajesh, indicating ownership or relation.
You are a good singer.
Who: The pronoun "you" is used when directly addressing someone, making it appropriate here.
Tarun likes his work.
Who: The possessive pronoun "his" is used for Tarun, as it suggests ownership of the work.
When choosing pronouns, it's important to make sure they match the noun they are replacing in terms of gender, number, and person (first, second, or third person). This helps in building a coherent and grammatically correct sentence.
