Exploring Personal Pronouns – Personal pronouns as subjects or objects – Pronouns take the place of nouns – Subject pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, they – ‘I’ is used for the speaker; ‘you’ for the person spoken to – Object pronouns: me, you, him, her, it, us, them – ‘Me’ is used for the speaker; ‘him’ for a male object – Practice using pronouns in sentences | This slide introduces the concept of personal pronouns and their role in sentences. Begin by explaining that personal pronouns can replace specific names of people, places, or things and can act as the subject or the object in a sentence. Subject pronouns are used when the pronoun is the one doing the action (e.g., ‘I run’), while object pronouns are used when the pronoun is receiving the action (e.g., ‘The ball hit me’). Provide examples for each pronoun and encourage students to create sentences using both subject and object pronouns. This will help them understand the difference in usage. The practice activity can involve students writing sentences or identifying pronouns in a given paragraph.

Using Personal Pronouns – Personal pronouns represent people – Like ‘he’ for a boy or ‘she’ for a girl – They can be subjects or objects – Subject pronouns do the action, object pronouns receive the action – ‘I’, ‘you’, ‘he’, ‘she’, ‘it’, ‘we’, ‘they’ – Subject pronouns: who is doing something – ‘me’, ‘you’, ‘him’, ‘her’, ‘us’, ‘them’ – Object pronouns: who is receiving something | This slide introduces the concept of personal pronouns, which are words that take the place of specific names of people or things. Explain that pronouns help us avoid repeating the same names over and over. Provide examples for subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) which are used when the person is doing the action, and object pronouns (me, you, him, her, us, them) which are used when the person is receiving the action. Use simple sentences to illustrate the difference, such as ‘He threw the ball’ and ‘She caught it.’ Encourage students to practice by writing sentences using both types of personal pronouns.

Practice Time: Spot the Personal Pronouns! – Let’s practice with sentences – I’ll say a sentence aloud – You find the personal pronoun – Personal pronouns replace names, like ‘he’, ‘she’, ‘it’, ‘they’ – Share your answers with the class | This slide is for an interactive classroom activity focused on identifying personal pronouns.
