Question

Identify the sentence in which the underlined pronoun is used incorrectly.

* = underline


A. You're* never going to believe what I just heard!

B. Have you turned in your* English paper yet?

C. What where you're* going!

D. Your* going to the market?

Answer 1

The two sentences that have pronouns used incorrectly are:

C. What where you're* going!

D. Your* going to the market?

Sentence C not only has a misused pronoun, it also is poorly worded, grammatically incorrect, and meaningless. It should say, guessing the sense of what was meant: Where you were going! Here the pronoun is you, the second-person personal pronoun (either singular or plural).

Sentence D should say: you´re going to the market? Here, the pronoun used is the same as above, but with an added contraction (you´re) that means: you are.

Answer 2

The correct answer for the given question above would be option D. The sentence that has the underlined pronoun which is used incorrectly is this: Your* going to the market? It should be "you're" and not "your". Hope this answers your question.
