Exercises - Object Pronouns or Possessive Pronouns

Level A1

Complete each sentence with an object pronoun (me, them …) or a possessive pronoun (mine, theirs …). 

Object pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them) describe the object of the sentence . In English sentences, they come after the verb or after a preposition.

The children like her.

I will meet him at seven.

Do not listen to them!

 

Possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, -, ours, yours, theirs) show possession or belonging. They can replace a possessive determiner + noun when a more detailed description is not necessary.

This is my book and this is yours. (= your book)

The painting is more beautiful than theirs. (= their painting)

 

We can use determiners (a, some, this …) + noun + of + possessive pronoun to refer to a definite or indefinite number.

I want to meet some friends of mine.

We are looking for a classmate of ours.
