Read each section carefully and follow the instructions. This worksheet will help you understand and identify pronouns and their antecedents.
What are Pronouns and Antecedents?
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. An antecedent is the noun or noun phrase that a pronoun refers to. For a sentence to be clear and correct, the pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number (singular or plural) and gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter).
Example: Maria read her favorite book. (Maria is the antecedent, her is the pronoun)
Read each sentence. Underline the pronoun and circle its antecedent.
1. Sarah loves to draw; she spends hours on it every day.
2. The dog wagged its tail when it saw its owner.
3. My grandparents visited us, and they brought gifts.
4. The tree lost all of its leaves in the fall.
5. John finished his homework before he went to play.
