What are the pronouns? 12. The team is winning more games than the coach thought it would. 15. Who is the tennis player wearing the blue shorts and yellow shirt? 17. Since the others have arrived, anything can happen in the game. 18. I advise you to make an appointment to see your career counselor. 20. Both of my parents enjoy exotic foods.

@Whitemonsterbunny17 @tkhunny

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Okay, so we just went through #12. What's your guess for #15?

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

@MissSmartiez

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

yes @Irrati0nal

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Listen to him, he has told you that pronouns are like, he, she, it, them, they, our, theirs, etc.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

since 12 is 'it' what is 15?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

One question at a time, please.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

And give us your thoughts, too.

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

i think its tennis player

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

No, that is the given noun.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Pronouns rename nouns. If the noun is tennis player, what word is renaming that?

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

player?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

I agree with whitemonsterbunny, which is describing the tennis player.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

in a pronoun format

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Think of words like this: Jake loves playing tennis, and he's been playing for years."

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Jake is the noun. "He" renames Jake. "He" is the pronoun.

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

who?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

It would be who because 'who' replaces the tennis player to a pronoun. I won't give you direct answers on the next one, try to find what RENAMES the subject, or noun

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

That's right.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

CORRECT!

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

You see, this is a breeze, smart owlet!

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Also, don't give the answer. We're to let them figure that out with the information we provide. @MissSmartiez

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

I am aware of that.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

You see how close they were without your giving that out? That's the goal. Let them figure it out on their own.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

I gave her only one answer and explained to her how it is the correct answer, to try to give examples on which she was asking. However, I see what you are saying.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Anyways, \(\large\bf\color{lime}{\bigstar~Great~Work!~\bigstar}\)

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

17?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

" Since the others have arrived, anything can happen in the game." This is tricky, the pronoun isn't a regularly used one like he she it and her is.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Can you guess what it might be?

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

others?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

I think you're starting to get it. Good job. :)

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

:) Great job, I have to go, let white help you.

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

20 is the last one

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

is it parents?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Who's parents are they talking about. what is the pronoun of the person's parents.

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

my?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

CORRECT!

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Nice job ;)

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

Thank you so much for the help @Whitemonsterbunny17 and @MissSmartiez Have an amazing day/night!!

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):
