I or Me? Choose the Pronoun When You Name Two People
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"I or Me? Choose the Pronoun When You Name Two People" 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 subject and object pronouns never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.

What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Choose I or me when a sentence names two people, covering the other name to test it. Use I when you do the action. Use me when the action happens to you. The directions on the page read: Cover the other person's name in each sentence. Then, circle I or me. Then, in 11, write a sentence that starts with a name and I. In 12, write a sentence that ends with a name and me. An answer key is included.
Can I use this subject and object pronouns 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 subject and object pronouns. 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 the difference between subject and object pronouns?
⌄
Subject pronouns (I, he, she, we, they) perform the action in a sentence, while object pronouns (me, him, her, us, them) receive the action - for example, 'She called him' uses both types.
Why do 3rd graders struggle with subject and object pronouns?
⌄
Many students default to nominative forms in all positions (e.g., 'between you and I' instead of 'between you and me'), and worksheets correct this by providing rule-based practice in identifying each pronoun's role.
How are these worksheets structured to teach the subject/object distinction?
⌄
Activities typically ask students to identify the pronoun's role in a sentence, choose the correct form from a pair (e.g., he/him), and write original sentences using subject and object pronouns correctly.
How many 3rd Grade subject and object pronouns worksheets are there?
⌄

What age are subject and object pronouns 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 subject and object pronouns 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.
