About Pronouns MCQs

This category uses error-spotting sentences to test pronoun rules. Questions cover subject and object case, as in You, he and I or If it proved to be him, relative pronouns where who is wrongly used for things, as in a gas who is lighter, and whom used in the subject position, as in Jack London, whom was known. Agreement errors such as their used for a singular snail or themselves for silver also appear, along with possessive forms like yours and reflexive pronouns after verbs like enjoyed.

Pronoun errors are among the most common items in the English section of ECAT, MDCAT and other entry tests, which use the identify-the-error format. Practising these sentences trains your eye to check each pronoun against its antecedent, case and number, which also improves your own writing. Many candidates lose easy marks here, so steady practice with short sets of sentences quickly builds the habit of checking every pronoun.

Key facts to remember

  • Use who for people and which or that for things and animals.
  • Who is used as a subject, while whom is used as an object.
  • A pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number and gender.
  • Possessive pronouns such as yours, its and theirs never take an apostrophe.
  • Enjoy is normally followed by an object or reflexive pronoun, as in We enjoyed ourselves.
