Complete the proud owner's review of a terrible used car. Select the grammatically correct pronoun for each gap.
"Look at my new car! I know _________________________ is incredibly rusty, but the price was right.
I didn't notice the scratches because _________________________ was raining heavily when I bought the vehicle.
The engine makes a weird rattling noise, and I'm pretty sure _________________________ is going to explode tomorrow. Best purchase ever!"
it — In English, inanimate objects like cars do not have grammatical gender. We always use "it," regardless of whether the word is masculine or feminine in your native language. (Note: While sailors traditionally call ships "she," standard modern English uses "it" for everyday vehicles).
it — English sentences require a subject. When talking about weather, time, or distance, we must use the "dummy subject" it. You cannot just say "Was raining."
it — Just like the car, an engine is an inanimate object and requires the pronoun "it."
