About these pronouns worksheets
A pronoun takes the place of a noun so we do not repeat it: "Marcus fed the fish" becomes "He fed the fish." Subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) do the action. Object pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, them) receive it. Possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs) show who owns something.
Third graders also learn that a pronoun must agree with the noun it stands for: one girl is she, two girls are they. These pronouns worksheets start with a chart, then ask children to circle pronouns, replace nouns with pronouns, choose subject or object pronouns, use possessive pronouns, make pronouns agree, and tell who a pronoun refers to. Every page with right answers has an answer key.

How to use them
- Start with the chart and swap nouns for pronouns in a few spoken sentences.
- Do the circle and replace pages next.
- Use subject or object: try the sentence with each choice and listen.
- Finish with agreement and who does it mean.
Teaching tips
- For "Sam and I" or "Sam and me", take Sam out and see which sounds right: "I built a fort" or "Give it to me."
- A pronoun should match its noun in number: one is he, she, or it; more than one is they.
- If it is not clear who a pronoun means, use the noun again.
- Possessive pronouns never have an apostrophe: hers, ours, theirs.
