Vague pronouns Practice for Grade 6

What to know

A vague pronoun is a pronoun that does not clearly show who or what it refers to. Pronouns like he, she, it, they, this, and that can make a sentence confusing when there is more than one possible noun they could mean. For example, in “Maya told Sarah that she won the contest,” the word she is unclear because it could mean Maya or Sarah. Clear writing makes the pronoun reference easy to understand, or replaces the pronoun with a specific noun. In these Grade 6 vague pronouns quizzes, students practice finding unclear pronouns and choosing revisions that make each sentence easier to understand.
