Pronouns - Exercises for Gr 2
- Read this sentence - Billy plays in the garden. Billy plays with Billy's dog. Billy is hungry and Billy wants to eat a sandwich. Billy calls his mom to hear is his mom will make a sandwich for Billy.
That just does not sound right - It is a very clumsy sentence. Now read the sentence again and in the place of 'Billy' you put words like he/she/his/him.

That is right. It is words like he, she, it, they, his, hers, ours etc. and is used in the place of a naming word or noun.
