To correct the pronouns in the sentences, follow these rules:
1. Use "another's" instead of "anothers" to show possession.
2. Use "ours'" instead of "our's" to indicate possession by a group.
3. Use "theirs" instead of "their's" to indicate possession by multiple people or things.
4. Use "anybody's" instead of "anybodys" to show possession.
5. Use "his" instead of "his'" to indicate possession by a singular male person.
Now let's apply these corrections to the sentences:
1. We respected one another's privacy.
2. We have ours, but where are theirs?
3. Is this anybody's lunch?
4. It is your turn now, but soon it will be ours.
5. Josh asked if his bicycle had been found.
