Complete each sentence below, using an objective pronoun. Then, tell how each pronoun is used in the sentence.
1). Skipping rope is a good form of exercise. Some athletes use (?) in their training.

My answers:
1). It (direct object)
2). her (indirect object)
3). me (direct object)
4). them (indirect object)
5). us (object of preposition)
All are right! :-)
Great work on completing the sentences! I would like to provide a slight clarification:
1) In the first sentence, "it" is actually being used as a pronoun subject. It is referring to skipping rope, which is the subject of the sentence. So, "it" is used as a subject pronoun.
2) In the second sentence, you are correct that "it" refers to jumping rope. Here, "it" is used as an object pronoun, as it is the object of the verb "gives."
3) You correctly identified "me" as the direct object pronoun in the third sentence. It refers to the speaker or the person talking.
4) In the fourth sentence, the pronoun "them" is being used correctly as an indirect object. It is referring to the friends of the speaker.
5) Lastly, in the fifth sentence, "us" is indeed functioning as the object of the preposition "for." It refers to the group of people including the speaker and others.
Great job overall in identifying the pronouns and their respective uses in each sentence!
