    Underline the correct possessive pronouns in the following sentences:

    1. Is this (your, yours) coat?

    2. You can’t have (my, mine) cookie.

    3. It is (our, ours) turn.

    3. That game is my family’s.

    4. Is that Susan and Ted’s house?

    Sheet #2

    The second worksheet will cover the proper use of possessive pronouns when used with gerunds.
    Practice will also be given in picking the right word from these words:

    whose, who's, its, it’s, their, theirs, there's, your, yours, you’re

    A: Introduction: Using gerunds with possessive pronouns can be tricky. Look at this sentence: “He did it
    without me helping him.” Did he do it without “me” or without “helping”? The correct word is “my”, so
    the sentence should be “He did it without my helping him.”

    Directions: Let’s practice using possessive pronouns with gerunds. Underline the correct word in these
    sentences.

    1. I appreciate (you, your) cleaning the house.

    2. (She, Her) walking the dog really helped me out.

    3. (They, Their) singing brought tears to my eyes.

    4. Did you enjoy (us, our) helping with the party?

    5. (He, His) taking out the trash was a bonus. 

    B. Directions: Underline the correct word.  Watch out for those contractions.

    1. Take all of (your, yours, you’re) clothes to college.

    2. (Its, It’s) a no-brainer.

    3. (Who, Whose, Who’s) Mercedes is this?

    4. Is this Porsche (your, yours, you’re)?

    5. If (your, yours, you’re) messy, you will clean it up.

    6. (Their, Theirs, There's) only one possible solution.

    7. Some relatives of (their, theirs, there's) are arriving soon.

    8. (Who, Whose, Who’s) responsible for this catastrophe?

    9. During (their, theirs, there's) exams, Charlie and Juan were nervous.

    10. Is that (your, yours, you’re)?
