Pronouns That Match
Reflexive pronouns (myself, themselves) and pronouns that match their nouns (The girls … their).
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 31
- A pronoun takes the place of a noun. It has to match: one or many, and boy, girl, or thing.
- Dad lost his keys. The tree dropped its leaves. Mom and Dad painted their fence. Each pronoun matches its noun.
- Reflexive pronouns end in self or selves. They point back to who did the action: I made myself a sandwich. The kids built the fort by themselves.
- Be careful! Hisself and theirselves aren't real words. Say himself and themselves.
