Lesson Plan For Parts Of Speech: Pronouns Level 1
OBJECTIVE:
Pronouns are important for writers because they allow writers to avoid repeating the same nouns over and over again.
Pronouns are words used in place of a noun. The noun a pronoun replaces is called the antecedent.
In this lesson, we are only going to focus upon personal pronouns that refer to persons or things.
| SINGULAR PERSONAL PRONOUNS | PLURAL PERSONAL PRONOUNS |
| I | me |
| we | us |
| you | you |
| he | they |
| she | them |
| him | |
| it |
MODEL SENTENCE:
The sun never sets, for it is always shining somewhere. (“it” replaces sun)
