Pronoun Usage Worksheets
A pronoun has to match the noun it replaces in number and to take the form its job in the sentence calls for. These worksheets separate the three cases, then work on the compound subjects and objects where students most often pick the wrong one.

What is published under pronoun usage
Ten pronoun usage worksheets are published, covering eight of the eight topics in this skill and written for grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, grade 4, grade 5, grade 7 and grade 8. Between them they come to 155 questions and 94 ruled lines.
Pronoun Usage spans grade 1 to grade 8 across its topic list, which is wider than most single skills — pronouns and their antecedents, subject pronouns and object pronouns sit at different ends of it. A topic's grade range is where a dedicated sheet is still worth printing, not where the idea is first mentioned.
How a pronoun usage sheet works
Five question types appear across these sheets — 10 × identify, 8 × rewrite, 7 × fill in the blank, 7 × write your own and 4 × multiple choice — and no single sheet uses all of them. Each moves from spotting the rule to applying it, so a student who has memorised the wording of the rule and nothing else runs out of road before the last part.
30 rule statements are printed across the set, in a box above the questions rather than assumed from a lesson last week. Altogether a student reads about 2533 words to work through every pronoun usage sheet here; the longest single one is Reflexive Pronouns: -self and -selves Forms at 20 questions, against a target of 20 for its grade.
These sit in the recognition, application and analysis bands. Every sheet prints its answer key on a separate page so it can be handed out without one, in black and white, with no account and no watermark.
