What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students identify the noun a pronoun replaces. They choose pronouns that match whether the noun names one person or thing, or more than one.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can explain which noun a pronoun replaces. They choose a pronoun that matches the noun and revise sentences when the match is unclear or incorrect.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may write, “The boys lost his hats,” mixing a plural noun with a singular pronoun. They may also choose the closest noun instead of the noun the pronoun replaces.
How to Assess It
- Give this exit ticket: “The puppies chased a ball. It or They barked loudly.” Students circle the correct pronoun and underline its matching noun.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs noun and pronoun cards; students match “the rabbit” with “it” and “the rabbits” with “they,” then read each pair aloud.
Discuss: In “Lena and Tia packed her bags,” what sounds wrong, and how would you fix it?
Play Pronoun Relay: teams replace repeated nouns in sentence strips with matching pronouns, earning a point for each clear revision.
Use a class announcement or lunch menu, circle each pronoun, and draw an arrow to the noun it names.
