Pronoun Cases
About This Worksheet
This Grade 7 Language Arts worksheet helps students choose the correct subject or object pronoun. Subject pronouns perform the action, while object pronouns receive the action or follow a preposition. Students work with pairs such as I/me, they/them, and who/whom. For example, “The director chose me” uses the object form because the pronoun receives the action.
Learning Goals
The main goal is to help students use pronoun case correctly in different sentence positions. Students should already know how to identify subjects, verbs, objects, and prepositions. This activity moves them toward choosing the correct form even in compound subjects, compound objects, and questions. It supports CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.7.1, which focuses on standard English pronoun use and sentence structure.
Student Tasks
On this worksheet, students will complete three sections covering I or me, they or them, and who or whom. They will circle the pronoun that correctly fits each sentence. The examples include subjects, direct objects, objects of prepositions, and pronouns joined with another noun. Students should test the sentence by removing the other person or replacing who/whom with he/him when needed.
Common Challenges
Some students may choose I whenever another person is named, even when the pronoun is an object. Others may use who in every sentence because whom sounds less familiar. Compound phrases such as “between you and me” can also be confusing. Encourage students to simplify the sentence and check whether he or him would fit in the same position.
Teaching Suggestions
A teacher can model the removal test with a sentence such as “The director chose Sam and me.” Taking out Sam and leaves “The director chose me,” which makes the answer easier to hear. At home, a parent can use the he/him test for who/whom questions. These short tests give students a reliable way to check pronoun case.
Worksheet Features
The worksheet is divided into three focused sections with five questions in each. It covers first-person, third-person, and relative pronoun case in several sentence patterns. The examples provide repeated practice without relying on one single rule. This page works well for direct instruction, grammar review, homework, or test preparation.
