Pronoun Worksheets Generator

Choose the pronoun types to practise and print a fresh pronoun worksheet with its answer key.

Pronoun worksheets are printable practice sheets that help students learn words such as he, them, mine, and everyone. This free pronoun worksheet generator builds a new sheet in your web browser. No sign-up is needed, and nothing you create is uploaded or sent to a server.

You choose the exercise types, the difficulty level, and the number of questions, and the preview on the right shows the paper sheet as you change each setting. The exercises cover subject and object pronouns, possessive words, reflexive pronouns, this, that, these, those, and indefinite pronouns. You can make a focused pronoun sheet for one skill or a mixed set for review. The sheets suit grades 3 to 8 and ESL learners from beginner to upper-intermediate. You can print them on US Letter or A4 paper.

How to make a pronoun worksheet

  1. Type a title in the worksheet title field, for example the name of the lesson.
  2. Choose a level: Easy, Medium, or Hard. The level changes which sentences and words are used.
  3. Click Add another exercise and pick an exercise type for it. You can add up to six exercises.
  4. Set the number of questions for each exercise, from 3 to 30. A sheet with two or three short exercises, for example Subject or object pronoun followed by Reflexive pronouns, fits on one page more easily than one long list.
  5. Turn on the options you need: Name and date line, Number the questions, Word bank (for exercises that have one), and Add the answer key when printing.
  6. Choose US Letter or A4 paper.
  7. Check the preview. If you want different questions with the same settings, click New worksheet.
  8. Click Print worksheet to print the sheet, or Print answer key to print only the key.

Leave Number the questions on if students will check their work against the key, so the numbers match. Copy link copies an address that opens exactly the same worksheet, with the same questions. Use it to reprint later or to send the sheet to a colleague.

What are subject and object pronouns?

Subject pronouns do the action in a sentence. They are I, you, he, she, it, we, and they. Object pronouns receive the action or come after a preposition such as to, for, or with. They are me, you, him, her, it, us, and them.

In “Maya and ___ finished the project,” the blank does the action, so the answer is they. In “The coach called ___ after practice,” the blank receives the action, so it needs an object pronoun such as us or them, never we or they. When you are unsure whether to write Tom and I or Tom and me, remove the other person. “I finished” is correct, so Tom and I finished. “Sent it to me” is correct, so sent it to Dana and me.

What are the types of pronouns?

Pronouns are grouped by their job in a sentence. The main types are subject, object, possessive, reflexive, demonstrative, and indefinite.

Possessive pronouns show ownership. A possessive pronoun can stand alone, as in “The kite is theirs.” A possessive adjective comes before a noun, as in “It is their hat.” Possessive words never take an apostrophe, so write its, yours, and theirs without one.

Reflexive pronouns end in -self or -selves and point back to the subject, as in myself, himself, and themselves. Demonstrative pronouns point to things. This and these refer to things that are near, and that and those refer to things that are far. This and that are singular, while these and those are plural. Indefinite pronouns refer to no particular person or thing, such as everyone, nobody, someone, and anything.

Which pronoun exercises can I choose?

There are eight exercise types: Subject or object pronoun, Replace with a pronoun, Possessive words (my or mine, their or theirs), Reflexive pronouns, This, that, these, those (Easy and Medium only, with near and far made clear in the sentence), Find the pronouns, Find the indefinite pronouns and Kinds of pronouns, where students name the type of an underlined pronoun.

Frequently asked questions

Do the worksheets come with answers?

Yes. Turn on Add the answer key when printing and the key prints on its own page. If you want students to check their own work on screen, use Practice online. Students tap or type their answers, and Check answers marks each item right or wrong, shows the correct answer, and gives a score. Free-writing items are not scored.

Can I get the worksheet as a PDF?

Yes. Click Print worksheet and choose Save as PDF in the print window. Set the scale to 100 % and turn off headers and footers. The file is saved on your own device.

My or mine: which one should I use?

Use my before a noun, as in “my pencil.” Use mine when it stands alone, as in “The pencil is mine.” The same rule applies to your/yours, his, her/hers, our/ours, and their/theirs.

How do you replace nouns with pronouns?

Find the noun, then choose a pronoun that matches it in number and person. “The books” becomes they, and “my sister” becomes she. Pronouns also replace the noun in the next sentence, so “My sister lost her bag. My sister was upset.” becomes “My sister lost her bag. She was upset.” The Replace with a pronoun exercise type gives this practice.

Can students use the worksheets without signing in?

Yes. The generator needs no account, and nothing you make is uploaded or sent to a server. To share a sheet, click Copy link and send the address. The recipient sees the same worksheet with the same questions.
