Intensive pronouns Practice for Grade 6

What to know

Intensive pronouns are words like myself, yourself, herself, himself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves. They are used to add emphasis to a noun or pronoun in a sentence. For example, in “Maya herself solved the puzzle,” the word herself shows that Maya did it on her own or that Maya is the person we want to focus on. An intensive pronoun can usually be removed, and the sentence will still make sense: “Maya solved the puzzle.” In these Grade 6 intensive pronouns quizzes, students practice recognizing how these pronouns add emphasis and choosing the correct form in clear, meaningful sentences.
