Pronoun number and person consistency Practice for Grade 6

What to know

Pronoun number and person consistency means using pronouns that match the noun or pronoun they refer to. Number tells whether something is singular or plural, and person tells whether the sentence is written in first person, second person, or third person. For example, “The students finished their project” is consistent because students and their are both plural. A sentence like “If we want to improve, you should practice every day” is confusing because it shifts from we to you. In these Grade 6 grammar quizzes, students practice recognizing and correcting pronoun shifts so their writing stays clear and consistent.
