Pronouns & Possessive Determiners | Subject & Object Pronouns, my/your/their, this & that | Grammar Unit | Grades 3–6

Pronouns & Possessive Determiners is a complete grammar unit on pronouns for ELA and ESL classes: eight modules in a 27-page student book, plus a 16-page teacher edition with an eight-lesson sequence, model answers, assessment anchors, sources and an AI disclosure.

Me and my friend went, him and I, their and they're: pronoun errors are persistent because students choose by the person named instead of by the job the word does in the sentence. This unit teaches the role first. Students work through subject pronouns (and the -s after he, she and it), object pronouns after verbs and prepositions, possessive determiners before a noun, whose, this and that, a mixed-grammar round and an error clinic, then write a short classroom story that uses all of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why possessive determiners and not possessive pronouns?

Words like my and their stand before a noun, so modern grammars call them determiners; mine and theirs stand alone. The unit uses the precise term and explains it simply. If your curriculum calls them possessive adjectives, it is the same group of words.

Does it work for English learners?

Yes. The A tasks secure the forms with sentence starters, and the teacher edition expects typical learner errors.

How long does it take?

Plan eight to twelve lessons, or use the eight modules as stations.
