World Languages

ESL Noun/Pronoun Practice is a Grade 9–12 World Languages worksheet that helps students choose pronouns that agree with their antecedents in number and fit their role in a sentence. Students work with subject pronouns such as he, she, it, and they; object pronouns such as her and them; and a possessive pronoun such as his, using short everyday contexts about people, animals, and objects. The 20-question practice set includes 16 multiple-choice items plus one matching item, one dropdown item, one classification item, and one fill-in-the-blank item. These varied formats give students repeated practice identifying whether a noun is singular or plural and selecting the appropriate pronoun in context. This free printable worksheet includes a complete answer key and can support ESL instruction, independent practice, review, or a quick check of pronoun usage.

FAQs

What does the ESL Noun/Pronoun Practice worksheet cover?

This worksheet practices selecting subject, object, and possessive pronouns that match the noun or nouns they replace. Its 20 items—including multiple-choice sentence completions, matching, dropdown, classification, and fill-in-the-blank tasks—ask students to distinguish choices such as they for plural subjects, her or them for objects, and his for possession.

How can I use this worksheet to teach pronoun agreement and usage?

Introduce the worksheet by having students identify the noun each blank refers to and decide whether it is singular or plural before choosing a pronoun. Then model the difference between subject forms such as he, she, and they, object forms such as her and them, and the possessive form his using the worksheet’s short everyday sentences. Use the non-multiple-choice items as a follow-up check after students explain their choices.

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

Watch for students choosing a singular pronoun for a plural antecedent, such as he or she for groups like teachers or children, or selecting they for one person or object. Students may also confuse subject and object forms—for example, choosing she where the sentence requires her—or overlook possession in a phrase such as “___ name is Peter.”

How do I assign and grade this ESL noun and pronoun worksheet?

You can assign this worksheet as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz on Wayground. It includes a complete answer key for the 20 items, and printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The printable format can also support schools that are reducing screen time.

How can I differentiate this pronoun worksheet for my students?

In the worksheet’s Advanced Settings, adjust font spacing or increase the font size to make the sentence-completion and selection items easier to read. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when students need language-access support.
