Pronouns

Sixth grade students have entered the lovely world of PRONOUNS! This week we will be working with Subject, Object, and Possessive Pronouns. The students also took notes on the pronoun's antecedent. Here are some of the notes covered:

• A PRONOUN is a word that takes the place of one or more nouns.
• The ANTECEDENT is the noun that the pronoun refers to.

Subject Pronouns

• Singular- I, you, he, she, it
• Plural- we, you, they

Object Pronouns

• Singular- me, you, him, her, it
• Plural- us, you, them

Possessive Pronoun

• Used Before Nouns- my, your, his, her, its, our, their
• Used Alone- mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs

Tricky Contractions

• its- belongs to it OR it's- it is
• their- belongs to them OR they're- they are
• your- belongs to you OR you're- you are
