Help your students build confidence in grammar and sentence structure with our Identifying Personal Pronouns Worksheets! This targeted resource supports learners as they recognise and understand the role of personal pronouns such as he, she, it, they, we, and I in context. Through reading, identifying, and applying pronouns in written tasks, students strengthen their ability to write clearly and fluently while reducing repetition.

Each worksheet provides simple sentence-based tasks where students highlight the personal pronouns and underline the nouns or noun phrases they replace (antecedents). The final section of the activity encourages students to create their own sentences using personal pronouns, reinforcing grammar skills through writing practice. This format supports both visual recognition and written application - making it ideal for classroom modelling, small group tasks, or independent literacy work.

Identifying Personal Pronouns Worksheets are suitable for middle primary students and are especially useful when introducing or revising pronouns during a grammar or writing unit. By linking each pronoun to its referent in context, students gain a deeper understanding of how language works and how to make their writing more fluid and varied.

• Tasks to highlight pronouns and underline corresponding nouns
• Extension space for students to create their own examples
• Designed for ease of use in whole-class, group or individual settings

Materials Needed:

• Printed worksheets (one per student or group)
• Highlighters or coloured pencils for grammar marking

4. Finally, students complete the extension section by writing their own sentences that include pronouns and highlight them.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during grammar mini-lessons or whole-class modelling
• 💡 Assign as independent practice or homework to consolidate grammar understanding
• 💡 Pair students to complete the task collaboratively and explain their answers
• 💡 Include as part of a grammar or sentence fluency station during rotations
• 💡 Use in writing conferencing to identify and improve sentence flow in student drafts

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Use colour-coding: highlight pronouns in one colour and antecedents in another
