Remarkable / Worksheets / Grade 4 English / Pronouns
A one-page CAPS Grade 4 English poster on pronouns (Grammar), with the key ideas, key words and a tip to remember.
A pronoun takes the place of a noun. We use pronouns so that we do not repeat the same noun again and again.

These come after the verb, or after words such as to, for and with: me, you, him, her, it, us, them.
Dad called us.

These show who owns something. My, your, his, her, its, our and their come before a noun. Mine, yours, his, hers, ours and theirs stand alone.

The reader must know who the pronoun means. Use the name again if it is not clear.
