Advanced Pronoun Use

Identify personal, possessive, reflexive and relative pronouns. Choose pronouns that make sentences clear, and use them to improve your writing.

Identify and classify pronouns

Use these categories: personal, possessive, reflexive and relative.

1.In “Bodhi assembled the robot that Charlie had designed, and he tested it himself,” identify every pronoun and write its type.

2.In “Xavier himself checked the battery before he switched on the robot,” what type of pronoun is “himself”, “he” and “the” in that order?

reflexive, personal; “the” is not a pronoun
personal, reflexive; “the” is a possessive pronoun
possessive, personal; “the” is a relative pronoun
relative, possessive; “the” is a personal pronoun

3.Match each pronoun to its type: “they”, “ours”, “which”, “herself”, “him”.

they
ours
which
herself
him

possessive
relative
reflexive
personal
personal

Choose and correct pronouns

Read each sentence carefully. Check that the pronoun fits the meaning and its role in the sentence.

4.Complete each sentence with the best pronoun from this word bank: themselves, whose, mine, which. Use each word once.

The team taught __________ to code.

Charlie found the toolkit __________ handle was loose.

“That controller is __________,” said Bodhi.

The model __________ Xavier built can turn its head.

5.Rewrite the sentence so the pronoun is correct: “Me and Charlie tested the robot after lunch.”

6.Rewrite the sentence so the pronoun is correct: “The club gave Xavier and I a certificate.”

7.Improve the flow by replacing repeated names or nouns with suitable pronouns: “Bodhi enjoys building robots. Bodhi sketches each robot before Bodhi starts. Bodhi’s partner helps Bodhi choose the parts.”

8.Write one sentence about the robotics club that includes both a reflexive pronoun and a relative pronoun. Underline each one and label its type.

9.Write one sentence about a robotics club project that uses a possessive pronoun and a personal pronoun. Underline and label both pronouns.

10.Extension: Write three or four sentences about a robotics club project. Include at least five pronouns from at least three different types, then circle each pronoun and label its type.
