1. Study.

You have learned in Book I that we should use the word those with the names of things we are speaking of. We say, those flowers; those boys; those horses; those big trees; those pretty flowers.

You have learned, too, that we must never use the word them with the names of the things we are speaking of.

Decide if each word is correctly used in these sentences:

1. Where did you put those bottles?

2. I put them in the cupboard.

3. Where have those children gone?

4. I saw them going down the road.

5. John did not like those tools.

6. He gave them to me.
