Pronoun and Antecedent Match in a Paragraph

Introduce the skill with a brief whole-class activity, such as calling out examples and asking students to give a thumbs up when they hear pronoun agreement in a sentence. Then let students work through it independently, using a partner or small group only if they want to talk through their thinking, referring to a class anchor chart if one is available. When reviewing answers, ask students to explain why an answer is correct rather than just confirming it. These pronoun agreement worksheets work well as a focused practice activity, a homework assignment, or a warm-up at the start of a language arts lesson.

Draw arrows from pronouns to their nouns in a paragraph about a paper chain, then fix two sentences. A pronoun takes the place of a noun. Its antecedent is the noun it stands for. The directions on the page read: Read the paragraph. Then, draw an arrow from each underlined pronoun to its noun. Then, fix and rewrite the two sentences. An answer key is included.

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.

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.'

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.

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.

2 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.

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.

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.
