Distributive pronouns are a category of pronouns that are used to refer to items separately rather than collectively. They are commonly used to indicate individual or separate entities within a group. Examples of distributive pronouns in English include “each,” “either,” “neither,” “any,” and “every.” These pronouns are essential for creating clear and accurate sentences, and they play a vital role in English grammar. To help students practice and better understand distributive pronouns, we’ve created two exercises with fill-in-the-blank sentences. Each exercise focuses on a slightly different aspect of distributive pronoun usage. By completing these exercises, students will gain a deeper understanding of distributive pronouns and their role in English grammar.
