Agreement With Indefinite Antecedents
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Agreement With Indefinite Antecedents" is written for 6th Grade (Ages 11-12), and it covers Common Core L.6.1.C.

What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Match pronouns to indefinite antecedents like each, neither, both and several in 12 sentences. In formal writing, everything, each and neither are singular, and both, few, many and several are plural, so a pronoun that refers to them must match. The directions on the page read: Read each sentence. Find the indefinite pronoun that is the antecedent. Circle the pronoun in parentheses that agrees with it. Use the formal rule above. An answer key is included.
Can I use this pronoun agreement worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 6th Grade pronouns, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with pronoun agreement. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
