About this worksheet

A relative pronoun joins extra information to a noun: the girl who won, the boy whose dog barked, the book that I read. On this sheet your child reads twelve short sentences and circles the pronoun that fits, choosing from the words printed under each one. Who and whom are for people, whose shows who owns something, and that and which are for things.

What your child will learn

Use who for a person doing the action
Use whose to show who owns something
Use whom after words such as to, for and with
Use that and which for things

Common Core standard: L.4.1.A

Worked example

The girl ( who / which ) won the race is my cousin. The missing word stands for a person doing the action, so the answer is who.

Common mistake

Using who for every sentence, even when the sentence needs whose for an owner or that for a thing.

Helpful hint

Ask who or what the missing word stands for: a person, an owner, or a thing. Then pick the pronoun for that job.
