How do you teach pronouns effectively?
They are very good.
- Ask students which words have been replaced by new words.

- Ask students which pronouns would replace different names and objects. Make sure to switch between singular and plural subject pronouns.
How do you use pronouns in a paragraph?
Singular pronouns must be used to replace singular nouns, and plural pronouns must be used to replace plural nouns.

Read the following example.

They write a sentence using the correct subject noun and correct object noun from each column.

Keep playing until the game is down to two people, or until so many students get them correct that you are sure they understand the skill.
