Common questions

What are pronouns?

A pronoun takes the place of a noun, so we do not have to say the noun again and again.

How do I teach pronouns?

Tell a short story about a friend without any pronouns: "Sam got up. Sam ate. Sam ran to the bus." Children quickly hear how odd it sounds, then fix it with he.

What mistake should I watch for?

Using the wrong form after a verb, as in "Mom gave I a hug". Have children say the sentence out loud: "gave me" sounds right.

What grade learns pronouns?

Usually 1st and 2nd grade. In the Common Core it is part of L.1.1d.
