1: Choose the right pronoun to correctly finish this sentence:
______need to follow me closely.

Well done, that's right. 'They' means 'Lewis, Luke and Thomas' in this sentence.

6: Thank you for collecting ______.
You said: me
Well done, that's right. 'Me' is the only answer that makes sense here as it is the only object pronoun (the who or what that was collected). 'Him', 'her' and 'them' would have been ok, but not 'he', 'she' or 'they'.
7: I wonder why Geoff rushed off. Did you upset ______?
You said: him
Well done, that's right. 'Him' is the only answer that makes sense here as it is the only object pronoun (the who or what acted upon). 'Him' means 'Geoff' in this sentence.
8: ______hope those flowers are for me.
You said: I
Congratulations, that's right. The 'me' at the end of this sentence is your clue here, as this is a person talking about themselves. The only answer that makes sense therefore is 'I'.
9: Open the door. It's ______.
You said: me
Congratulations, that's right. 'Me' is the only answer that makes sense here as it is the only object pronoun (the who or what acted upon). 'Them', 'him' or 'her' would also have made sense here, but not 'I', 'they' or 'she'.
10: Sarah wanted Lisa to follow ______.
You said: her

Well done, you've finished the quiz.
You scored 10/10 [100.0%] so why not print out your certificate?
1: Choose the right personal pronoun to correctly finish this sentence:
They have taken the money. Please run after ______.
You said: them
Well done, that's right. 'They' at the beginning of the sentence is a clue - the sentence is about more than one person and you aren't one of them. 'Them' is the right answer because it is an object pronoun, it is the thing that is run after.
2: ______thought the holiday would be ideal for us.
You said: We
Fantastic, that's right. This is the only possible option as it is the only subject pronoun. 'He', 'she' or 'I' would have worked, but not 'him', 'her' or 'me'.
3: I was stopped by a woman who wanted to ask ______the way to the post office.
You said: me
Fantastic, that's right. The clue in this sentence is that it starts with 'I' - 'I' is the person talking. The personal pronoun therefore needs to refer back to the person talking, so the only possible option is 'me'.
4: What is wrong with ______?
You said: them
Well done, that's right. This is the only possible option as it is the only object pronoun - a pronoun that takes the action of the verb 'is'. 'Him' or 'her' would also have worked, but not 'he', 'she' or 'they'.
5: Ali and Marcus would like to invite ______to the party too.
You said: you
Well done, that's right. This is the only possible option as it is the only object pronoun - a pronoun that takes the action of the verb 'invite'. 'Me', 'them' or 'her' would also have worked, but not 'I', 'they' or 'she'.
6: I can't find ______anywhere.
You said: it
Well done, that's right. This is the only possible option as it is the only object pronoun - a pronoun that takes the action of the verb 'find'. 'Him', 'her' or 'them' would have also been possible, but not 'he', 'she' or 'they'.
7: There is a message for ______on the pad.
You said: you
Congratulations, that's right. This is the only possible option as it is the only object pronoun - a pronoun that takes the action of the verb 'is'. 'Him', 'her', or 'them' would also have worked, but not 'he', 'she' or 'they'.
8: Now you're here, please go with ______.
You said: them
Well done, that's right. This is the only possible option as it is the only object pronoun - a pronoun that takes the action of the verb 'go with'. 'Us' or 'her' would also have worked, but not 'we', 'they' or 'she'.
9: My jumper doesn't fit anymore. I think I've shrunk ______.
You said: it
Well done, that's right. 'It' means 'my jumper' in this sentence. This is the only possible option as it is the only object pronoun - a pronoun that takes the action of the verb 'shrunk' - it is the thing that you shrunk. Also, 'he', 'she' and 'I' all talk about people, not things.
10: What can ______do about it?
You said: you
Congratulations, that's right. This is the only possible option as it is the only subject pronoun - a pronoun that the sentence is about. 'He', 'she' and 'we' would also have worked, but 'him', 'her' and 'us' don't.
