Fun with Pronouns!


OK, let's have some fun with pronouns. Or... if not fun... maybe some other state-of-being less akin to wanting to stab your eyes out with your pencil.

If you Google "pronouns," you will find a lot of sites about... pronouns! Imagine that!





Here are some good ones I found with some interactive quizzes:

This one is really good. Make sure to read the explanations after you take it:

http://www.usingenglish.com/quizzes/67.html

For both of the following quizzes, answer the question in your head first, and then drop down the correct answer from the little box:

There! You can probably find a ton of other ones, but those should suffice for now.

So... how did you do? Any questions about a particular one? Post about it, and I'll try to write back when I can.

Secret Password!

Getting back up and running! Wow... I haven't used this blog in awhile... Time to get it back up and running. This is a place where I post stuff about ELA class as well as some other random things. You might be directed here from time to time for an assignment. Please bookmark this page! In order to make sure you visited this site, write the word "ailurophile" on your handout. That will be your secret password!
