About this resource
Circle the pronoun in each of five sentences, then write a noun or noun phrase that could replace it. Students must consider the pronoun’s reference and role rather than simply substitute any noun. Read the revised sentence to check that its meaning and grammar still fit.
Curriculum reference — Ontario: Correct the misleading direction implied by the old title; pupils replace pronouns with nouns, not the reverse. Personal-pronoun functions and noun reference support Grade2 grammar. Choosing nouns or pronouns for clarity supports the shared Years3–4 programme; no precise Year is inferred. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
