The kind of sentences you'll fix

Drop the other person, choose the pronoun that survives, and write it on the line.

The surprise party was planned by Mom and (I / me) weeks ago.
Fixed: The surprise party was planned by Mom and me weeks ago.
(Her / She) and her lab partner finished the model first.
The ranger showed the twins and (them / they) the fox tracks.

Every print pulls a new set of sentences at this level, so a make-up test or a second sibling gets a different mix.

A few of the sentences, as the answer key corrects them:

The magician picked Lena and him from the audience.
They grilled corn for the whole block.

Fix it. Drop the other person, choose the pronoun that survives, and write it on the line. 8 sentences to fix per page.

How to teach this

Promote to editor: have your child fix pronoun case in sample sentences aloud, explaining each with the drop test. Explaining is the difference between a rule followed and a rule owned.

Watch for: 'And I' is not automatically polite grammar: it is right as a subject and wrong as an object. 'She gave it to Ben and I' fails the drop test instantly. The drop test is the whole skill: remove the other person and say the sentence. Ears trained on English almost never miss the solo version.
