Build your students’ confidence with grammar using our engaging Possessive Pronouns Worksheets. These clear, curriculum-aligned tasks support students as they learn to recognise and use possessive pronouns such as mine, yours, his, hers, ours, and theirs. With simple sentence structures and scaffolded activities, students will gain a stronger understanding of how pronouns show ownership in writing.

This resource is designed to give students repeated practise with identifying missing possessive pronouns in context. By reading each sentence and choosing the appropriate pronoun to complete it, students develop fluency in both reading and writing. These worksheets are ideal for small group grammar work, individual practise, or as part of a literacy rotation.

Possessive Pronouns Worksheets are a great way to bridge the gap between oral language and written sentence structure. Students will also develop their ability to distinguish between personal and possessive pronouns, strengthening their grammar foundation for future writing tasks.
