English Quiz - Pronouns (Questions)

Get ready for a KS2 English quiz all about pronouns! Pronouns are special words that take the place of nouns. Saying "Helen, Tom, and Nadia decided to share Helen's, Tom's, and Nadia's toys" sounds funny! It's much better to say, "Helen, Tom, and Nadia decided to share their toys." 'Their' is a pronoun, like 'he' and 'his', 'she' and 'her', 'you' and 'your', and 'I' and 'my'. There's also a pronoun called 'it'.

Most people naturally use pronouns when talking. It's handy in writing too, making long sentences shorter!

Test your pronoun skills with this English quiz!
