This free printable Grade 7 English worksheet helps students distinguish possessive adjectives from possessive pronouns in everyday sentences. Across 15 multiple-choice questions, students select forms such as my, your, our, his, her, their, and its when they come before a noun, then identify standalone pronouns such as mine, yours, ours, his, hers, and theirs. The items use familiar contexts involving family members, belongings, animals, body parts, and shared objects. Students must use the surrounding sentence to determine both the owner and whether a noun follows the blank. This builds accuracy in choosing possessive forms, including distinguishing your from yours, my from mine, and their from theirs. The worksheet is suitable for Grade 7 English practice, independent review, or a quick grammar check, and includes a complete answer key for efficient marking.

This Grade 7 English worksheet covers choosing possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns in 15 multiple-choice sentence-completion questions. Students use context to select forms such as her house, our bathroom, and my toes when a noun follows, or mine, yours, ours, his, and hers when the possessive form stands alone. Completing these items builds accuracy in showing ownership and distinguishing adjective-pronoun pairs.
First, model the key contrast with a sentence pair such as “This is my pencil box” and “This pencil box is mine,” asking students what follows each possessive form. Then have students complete the worksheet’s multiple-choice items and explain why the selected word fits the sentence, especially in pairs such as your/yours, my/mine, and their/theirs. Use the answer key to discuss how the owner and the presence or absence of a following noun determine the answer.
Students may choose a possessive pronoun such as mine or yours before a noun, as in the worksheet’s “___ pencil box” and “___ grandmother’s house” items; these require my and our instead. Watch also for confusion between their and theirs, your and yours, and my and mine, as well as selecting his or her without checking who owns the object. The cat item also checks whether students recognize its for an animal rather than choosing a personal pronoun.
