Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Choose the correct pronoun case in context, distinguishing subject forms such as we, she and they from object forms such as us, her and them
Identify possessive pronouns and tell those used before a noun (her, our, their) from those that stand alone (hers, theirs, mine)
Match a pronoun to the noun it replaces, naming the antecedent rather than only the pronoun
Explain when pronouns alone would leave a reader unsure who is being referred to, and give a reason in each case
Apply the rules in the student's own writing by drafting a journal entry and marking its possessive pronouns

Teaching tips

The paragraph-sorting worksheet needs a book or story to hand and another sheet of paper for the two lists, so it is the one page that is not print-and-go
The journal-entry worksheet asks students to describe their own role and their classmates' roles in a school project, which naturally forces both singular and plural possessives into the writing
The pronoun-confusion worksheet is the discussion page of the set - its example question about whether you would use pronouns at the start of a story works well read aloud before students write
Use the marked pages to check antecedent matching as well as answers; several sections pair a pronoun with the noun it stands for rather than simply listing the correct word
Each sheet carries the code MP5093 and a page number in its footer, which identifies the grammar book the worksheet came from if you want the surrounding unit

Skills covered

Pronoun case - the marked pages label items S or O and correct entries such as "1. me" and "6. him", so students must place subject and object forms correctly.
Possessive pronoun forms - one marked section sorts responses into possessives that come before the noun and possessives that stand alone, covering his, her, our, their, hers, theirs and mine.
Antecedent matching - a marked section pairs each pronoun with the noun it replaces: Miss Wilson with She, class with They, Edward with He, Mairin and Bethany with they.
Pronoun clarity in writing - one worksheet asks students to list situations where using only pronouns would confuse a reader and to justify each case.
Applying pronouns in original writing - the journal-entry worksheet asks students to write about a school project and then underline every possessive pronoun they used.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What do the three open worksheets ask students to produce?

Written work rather than fill-in answers. One asks for a list of times when using only pronouns could confuse a reader, with a reason for each. One asks students to pick a short paragraph from a book they have read and split its pronouns into personal and possessive lists on another sheet. The third asks for a journal entry about a favourite school project with every possessive pronoun underlined.

Which kinds of pronoun does the practice actually cover?

Personal, possessive, subject and object. The marked pages tag items S or O, sort possessives into those that come before a noun and those that stand alone, and in one section pair each pronoun with the noun it stands for.

Is anything needed beyond the printed pages?

One worksheet is: it asks students to select a short paragraph from a book or story they have recently read, and to write the two pronoun lists on a separate sheet. The other four need only the sheet itself.
