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 âMaya herself solved the puzzle,â 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: âMaya solved the puzzle.â In these Grade 6 intensive pronouns quizzes, students practice recognizing how these pronouns add emphasis and choosing the correct form in clear, meaningful sentences.

Why Intensive Pronouns Matter in Sixth Grade
In 6th grade, students transition to more mature writing styles. Mastering intensive pronounsâsuch as himself, themselves, and yourselfâallows writers to add emphasis and precision to their sentences. This is a core sixth-grade skill that helps students distinguish between emphasizing a subject and simply using a reflexive pronoun as an object.
Tips for Classroom and Home Practice
To help your child or students master these pronouns, try these simple strategies:
- The Removal Test: Teach kids to remove the pronoun. If the sentence still makes sense (e.g., 'She wrote the story herself'), it is an intensive pronoun.
- Spot the Emphasis: Have students read sentences aloud to feel how the intensive pronoun adds special drama or focus.
- Write for Effect: Encourage students to rewrite simple sentences by adding intensive pronouns to make their personal narratives more expressive.
