Possessive Pronouns Worksheets for Grade 1

Hey there! Parts of speech are words that define a sentence grammatically. In English, there are eight parts of speech and so far we have covered nouns, adjectives, and verbs through our worksheets. This week we take a look at pronouns. This worksheet aims to educate children about pronouns.

Pronouns are defined as the words that are used in place of nouns. Such words replace nouns in sentences. When we write, we use several nouns such as names of people in sentences. It is not very efficient to keep repeating the name each time we need to refer to that person. Moreover, doing so makes it repetitive, inefficient and takes away from the beauty of the language.  Pronouns are used to counter such cases. Depending upon the noun being replaced and its function, pronouns replace the nouns in the sentence. There are a few different types of pronouns. It can be personal, possessive, definite, indefinite, reflexive, and so on. The worksheet brings exercises for first graders to learn about possessive pronouns.

Often when we write we need to show possession in the sentence. For example, we may need to show that a certain thing belongs to certain someone and so on. For that, we use possessive pronouns. Possessive pronouns are pronouns that tell about the possession or ownership of a thing. In other words, possessive pronouns show that something belongs to someone or is used to indicate a relationship of possession in a broad sense. Some possessive pronouns are his, her, their, mine, yours, etc.
