A three-page Year 4 pronouns sheet. A box lists the twelve personal pronouns. In ten pairs of sentences, such as Ruby has a kite and She flies it in the park, pupils circle the pronouns in the second sentence and write the noun each one replaces. Page 2 asks which pronouns replaced things rather than people and for two sentences about a friend. Page 3 is the answer key. It follows England National Curriculum Year 4 grammar.
Writing - vocabulary, grammar and punctuation
“Choosing nouns or pronouns appropriately for clarity and cohesion and to avoid repetition”
Every item pairs a noun with the pronoun that replaces it, and question 2 on page 2 has pupils do the same in their own writing.
Writing - vocabulary, grammar and punctuation
“Using and understanding the grammatical terminology in English Appendix 2 accurately and appropriately when discussing their writing and reading.”
The sheet uses the word pronoun throughout, and question 1 on page 2 asks pupils to sort pronouns by whether they stand for people or things.
A box with twelve pronouns, from I and you to us and them, for pupils to check against.
Ten pairs of sentences, each with a noun in the first and one or two pronouns in the second, from They share a room to Grandad bought us an ice cream. Pupils circle each pronoun and write the noun on the line.
Question 1 asks which pronouns replaced things rather than people. Question 2 asks for a sentence that names a friend and a second sentence that uses a pronoun.
Each pronoun with the noun it replaces, such as him for Ben and us for Maya and I, plus a sample pair of sentences about a friend.
Class start
Read pairs 1 and 2 aloud and ask pupils what she and they stand for before anyone circles anything.
Tricky pairs
Pair 3 has him for Ben and pair 8 has us for Maya and I. Use them to talk about pronouns that come after the verb.
Marking question 2
Check that the first sentence names the friend and the second swaps the name for he, she or they. The key gives one example to compare with.
