    Year 6 Grammar Revision

    Pronouns
    Pronouns: The Rules
    Pronouns are words used to replace a noun. Without pronouns, spoken and
    written English would be very repetitive.

    Nicola loves to play golf. She finds it very relaxing.

    Sam heard a noise from the cave.


    There was definitely something inside it.

    There are six different types of pronouns…


    Personal Pronouns: The Rules
    Personal pronouns represent people, places and things. They refer back to
    either the object or subject of the sentence. Personal pronouns often signal
    whether the noun they refer back to is singular or plural and its gender.

    He pointed at her. She


    them him you giggled at him.
    it you I

    we she they

    he me us
    Possessive Pronouns: The Rules
    Possessive pronouns show you the ownership of something. There are not to be
    confused with possessive apostrophe words. They don’t need an apostrophe.

    The bike was his.

    mine yours his

    hers its ours

    theirs
    Relative Pronouns: The Rules
    Relative pronouns are the first words used in a relative clause.

    that who whom which whose

    Jim, who was dressed as a superhero, was going to a fancy dress party.

    The lion held the mouse, which made him nervous.


    Reflexive Pronouns: The Rules
    Reflexive pronouns reflect back on an earlier noun or pronoun.

    myself themselves herself yourself himself ourselves

    He taught himself to play the accordion.

    ‘Himself’ refers back to the pronoun ‘he’.


    Interrogative Pronouns: The Rules
    Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions when there is an unknown
    subject or object.

    what who which whose whom

    Who was that? Whose are those?


    Indefinite Pronouns: The Rules
    Indefinite pronouns do not refer to any specific person or thing, but still can
    take the place of a noun.

    somebody someone nobody all

    something anybody nothing another

    anyone anything no one whose

    each many most other

    some few none such

    There isn’t anyone at home.


    Pronouns: The Tricky Bits
    The two most commonly misused personal pronouns are:

    me I
    Me and Danielle worked at the computer.

    This sentence is incorrect. Think about it… would ‘me worked at the computer’
    be grammatically correct?

    Danielle and I worked at the computer.

    ‘I’ is the correct pronoun to use. Always place the other person first.
    Pronouns – Quiz Question 1

    Underline six pronouns in the following passage.

    Bob and Bert went shopping for a camping


    equipment. They bought a tent for themselves.
    It came with free sleeping bags. Bob gave his
    to someone else because he already had one.
    Pronouns – Quiz Question 2

    Add a possessive pronoun to this sentence:

    “You can’t play with the train – it’s


    min
    _____________”.

    Pronouns – Quiz Question 3

    Rewrite the sentences, replacing the underlined


    nouns with the correct pronouns.

    Sara played Scrabble even though she doesn’t really like it.
