3rd Grade Personal Pronouns Worksheets

A pronoun replaces a noun: he, she, it, we, they, and the possessives my, her, their. By 3rd grade, students find every pronoun in a sentence and can point back to the noun it stands for, which sets up pronoun-antecedent agreement work in the next grades.

How to teach this

The question that does the work at this level is "who or what does this word stand for?" Every pronoun a student underlines, they should be able to answer that for. If they can't, either it isn't a pronoun or the sentence is ambiguous, and both are worth a conversation. Fold in the possessives (my, her, their) since students often don't realize those count.

Watch for: Words like my, his, and their are pronouns too. They show who owns something. The word 'it' is easy to skip because it's short. It still counts.

Common questions about personal pronouns

Is "my" a pronoun?
Yes. My, your, his, her, its, our, and their are possessive pronouns; they stand in for a noun and show ownership at the same time. Third graders should count them, because standards at this level expect the full set, not just he/she/it.
What is an antecedent?
The noun a pronoun points back to. In "The geese honked before they flew away," the antecedent of "they" is "the geese." Third grade is when students start naming this connection, and it's the foundation for the agreement skills that come in 4th and 5th.
