Start with the rule box at the top of each sheet and model one sentence aloud. Ask students to say why they chose each form, since the label step on the who and whom sheet is where most errors show.
What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Pick the pronoun after than or as and in appositives like we eighth graders on a capitol trip. To test we or us before a noun, drop the noun. After than or as, finish the comparison in your head. After a preposition, use the object form, as in with Sam and me. The directions on the page read: Each sentence is about a class trip. Circle the correct pronoun in the parentheses. An answer key is included.
Can I use this pronoun case worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 8th grade pronouns, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
How do you know whether to use whoever or whomever?
⌄
Look only at the clause the pronoun sits in. If it is the subject of that clause, use whoever, as in award the trophy to whoever gets the loudest applause. If it is an object in that clause, use whomever.
Is it taller than I or taller than me?
⌄
In formal writing, finish the comparison in your head. Faster than she is shows that she is the subject of an unspoken verb. Pronoun Case With Appositives and Than practices this with sentences like Leila took more photos than he did.
Why is between you and me correct?
⌄
Between is a preposition, and a pronoun after a preposition takes the object form. Me is the object form, so between you and me is correct and between you and I is not.
