He, She, It or They? Pronouns for People and Things
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"He, She, It or They? Pronouns for People and Things" is written for 3rd Grade (Ages 8-9), and it covers Common Core L.3.1.A. If your little one is a year younger but already steady on pronouns, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and pronoun agreement never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.

How do I use this pronoun agreement worksheet?

What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Read a sentence about Grace, a bus or two uncles, then write he, she, it or they in the next one. A pronoun takes the place of a noun. It must match the noun: a boy, a girl, a thing, or more than one. The directions on the page read: Read the first sentence and find the noun. Then, write he, she, it or they on the line in the second sentence. Then, write 1 sentence of your own. An answer key is included.
Can I use this pronoun agreement worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 3rd 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.
What is pronoun agreement and why does it matter?
⌄
Pronoun agreement means that the pronoun must match its antecedent in number (singular/plural) and gender - for example, 'Maria lost her book' not 'Maria lost their book.'
What pronoun agreement errors are most common in 3rd grade writing?
⌄
Third graders often mix up singular and plural pronouns (using 'they' for a single person) or use the wrong gender pronoun, errors that pronoun agreement worksheets directly address.
How do these worksheets reinforce pronoun agreement across different sentence types?
⌄
Worksheets present a range of sentences - with singular, plural, male, female, and mixed-gender antecedents - so students practice making agreement decisions across varied contexts rather than memorizing one rule.
How many 3rd Grade pronoun agreement worksheets are there?
⌄
4 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are pronoun agreement worksheets for?
⌄
These are written for 3rd Grade students, roughly ages 8-9. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Are these pronoun agreement worksheets aligned to Common Core?
⌄
Yes. Each one shows the Common Core code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.
