Answer (2)
In this activity, you need to replace the nouns with the appropriate pronouns from the list provided (he, she, we, they, it). Here's how you can do it:
my sister - The appropriate pronoun for 'my sister' is she because 'sister' is a singular female noun.
our car - The appropriate pronoun for 'our car' is it because 'car' is a singular object.
my mom - The appropriate pronoun for 'my mom' is she because 'mom' is a singular female noun.
Peter - The appropriate pronoun for 'Peter' is he because 'Peter' is a singular male noun.
Jane - The appropriate pronoun for 'Jane' is she because 'Jane' is a singular female noun.
The balloons - The appropriate pronoun for 'The balloons' is they because 'balloons' is a plural noun.
Grandpa - The appropriate pronoun for 'Grandpa' is he because 'Grandpa' is a singular male noun.
In this exercise, identifying whether the noun is singular or plural, and the gender of the noun (if applicable), helps in choosing the correct pronoun. This is a fundamental aspect of English grammar taught at the middle school level.
You can replace the nouns in the given sentences with pronouns as follows: my sister - she, our car - it, my mom - she, Peter - he, Jane - she, The balloons - they, and Grandpa - he. Each pronoun is chosen based on the gender and number of the noun. This exercise helps reinforce the understanding of pronouns in English grammar.
