Great job! You have correctly identified and underlined the correct pronoun in each sentence.
To answer these types of questions, it is important to understand the difference between subject pronouns (such as we, they, he) and object pronouns (such as us, them, him). Subject pronouns are used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence, while object pronouns are used when the pronoun is the object of a verb or preposition.
In sentence 7, the pronoun "them" is the object of the verb "played" and correctly refers to the people the speaker played with.
In sentence 8, the pronoun "we" is the subject pronoun and correctly identifies the group as the subject of the sentence.
In sentence 9, the pronoun "him" is the object of the verb "made" and correctly identifies the person who was made to run for the ball.
In sentence 10, the pronoun "they" is the subject pronoun and correctly identifies the people who did not want to play anymore.
