About this worksheet

I or me, myself or ourselves. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

I can choose I or me, we or us, he or him by testing the pronoun alone in its slot.
I can use myself, ourselves or themselves only to repeat a noun already in the sentence.
I can spot and fix wrong forms like hisself, theirselves and her's.

Words to know

subject pronoun: A pronoun that does the action: I, he, she, we, they.

object pronoun: A pronoun that receives the action or follows a preposition: me, him, her, us, them.

slot: The place in the sentence where the pronoun goes.

intensive pronoun: A self word that repeats a noun for emphasis, like *herself* in "My sister fixed it herself."

possessive pronoun: A pronoun that shows who owns something: mine, hers, ours, yours, theirs.

arrow: The line you draw from a pronoun back to the noun it names.

Common mistakes

When choosing the right pronoun, your child used a subject word such as I, he, she, we or they where the sentence needs me, him, her, us or them; try covering the other person and reading the sentence with only the blank.

When choosing the right pronoun, your child used me, him, her, us or them where I, he, she, we or they belongs; try covering the other person and asking who is doing the action.

When choosing the right pronoun, your child used myself or ourselves in place of I, me, we or us; a self word only repeats a noun already in the sentence, so try drawing an arrow back to that noun.
