1st Grade Matching Nouns to Pronouns Worksheet - Your Home Teacher - Free Printable

Let's solve this First Grade worksheet titled: "Matching nouns to pronouns."

The goal is to match each noun phrase on the left with the correct pronoun on the right. We need to find which pronoun correctly replaces each noun or group of nouns.

Step-by-step matching:

1. You and I → This refers to two people including the speaker. The correct pronoun is we.
- ✔ We

2. Tom and his friends → A group of people (plural). The correct pronoun is they.
- ✔ They

3. The girl → A single female person. The correct pronoun is she.
- ✔ She

4. This boy → A single male person. The correct pronoun is he.
- ✔ He

5. A dog → An animal, singular. The correct pronoun is it.
- ✔ It

6. A bike → An object, singular. The correct pronoun is it.
- ✔ It

7. You and John → Two people (you + John), so plural. The correct pronoun is you? Wait — let’s think carefully.

But here’s a key point: "You and John" is a group of two people. However, the pronoun you is used for one or more people, but it doesn’t clearly indicate plurality in grammar. Still, in English, "you" can be singular or plural. But in this context, since there are two people, we might expect "you" as the pronoun.

However, look at the options: There is "you" and "they" listed. Since "you" is already an option and fits grammatically, and "they" would only be used if replacing a group without using "you," we should use:
- ✔ You (because "you" can refer to multiple people)

BUT — wait: "You and John" includes the person being addressed ("you") and John. So the pronoun that replaces “you and John” should be you, because “you” already covers both (in informal speech, like “You and John went to the store. You had fun.”).

However, technically, "you" is the correct pronoun here, even though it's plural in meaning.

So: ✔ You

8. My friends → A group of people (plural). The correct pronoun is they.
- ✔ They

9. The boys → A group of males (plural). The correct pronoun is they.
- ✔ They

10. Joanna → A female name. The correct pronoun is she.
- ✔ She

Final Matching:

| Noun Phrase | Pronoun |
|-------------------------|--------|
| You and I | we |
| Tom and his friends | they |
| The girl | she |
| This boy | he |
| A dog | it |
| A bike | it |
| You and John | you |
| My friends | they |
| The boys | they |
| Joanna | she |

---

Now, let's check the available options on the right side:

- you
- it
- he
- they
- she
- we
- it (again)
- they (again)
- she (again)
- they (again)

Wait — notice that some pronouns appear multiple times. That’s okay — some are repeated.

But let's verify if all matches are possible:

- we → appears once → used for "You and I"
- you → appears once → used for "You and John"
- he → appears once → used for "This boy"
- she → appears twice → used for "The girl" and "Joanna"
- it → appears twice → used for "A dog" and "A bike"
- they → appears three times → used for "Tom and his friends", "My friends", "The boys"

All pronouns are accounted for and used correctly.

6. A bike → it
7. You and John → you
8. My friends → they

Final Answer (for the worksheet):

Connect the following:

- You and I → we
- Tom and his friends → they
- The girl → she
- This boy → he
- A dog → it
- A bike → it
- You and John → you

> Note: Some pronouns are used more than once, which is normal.

This helps students understand how pronouns replace nouns in sentences.
