Reflexive and Intensive Pronouns is a Grade 6 English worksheet with 18 multiple-choice questions focused on choosing and using pronouns correctly in complete sentences. Students select the appropriate form, such as himself, herself, themselves, ourselves, or yourselves; distinguish reflexive pronouns from intensive pronouns; and correct pronoun choices in subjects, objects, compound phrases, and sentence endings. The questions use familiar school, sports, community, and everyday situations to give students practice with pronoun-antecedent agreement, person, and number. Students also evaluate whether a pronoun sends an action back to the subject or adds emphasis to a noun or pronoun. This free printable worksheet includes a complete answer key, making it useful for Grade 6 grammar practice, independent work, review, or an in-class assessment.

FAQs

What does this reflexive and intensive pronouns worksheet cover?

This Grade 6 English worksheet uses 18 multiple-choice questions to help students choose correct pronoun forms and identify whether a pronoun is reflexive or intensive. Items also practice agreement in person and number, including choices such as himself, herself, themselves, ourselves, and yourselves in complete sentences.

How can I use this worksheet to teach reflexive and intensive pronouns?

First model the difference between a reflexive pronoun, which refers an action back to its subject, and an intensive pronoun, which emphasizes a noun or pronoun. Then have students explain why each selected form agrees with its antecedent and whether the sentence needs a pronoun that completes the action or one that adds emphasis. Use the worksheet’s multiple-choice items for guided practice before assigning it independently.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this pronoun worksheet?

Watch for students who choose a form based only on the nearby word rather than matching the pronoun to its antecedent in person and number. Students may also confuse reflexive and intensive uses, select singular forms for plural groups, or use forms such as “myself” where a standard subject or object pronoun is required. Have them identify the antecedent and read the full sentence aloud before revising an answer.

How do I assign and grade this reflexive and intensive pronouns worksheet?

The worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key for all 18 multiple-choice questions. For printable submissions, scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to help grade responses efficiently. The PDF option can also support schools that want to reduce screen time.

How can I differentiate this reflexive and intensive pronouns worksheet for my students?

Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing and font size so the multiple-choice sentence items are easier to navigate. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when that supports access to the pronoun choices and directions.
