Grade 6: Kinds of Pronouns worksheet - Free Printable

Let's solve both sections B and C step by step.

---

B. Fill in reflexive/emphatic pronoun

Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence are the same person or thing (e.g., *myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves*).
Emphatic pronouns are used for emphasis (e.g., *I myself*, *they themselves*).

Here are the correct answers:

1. I myself wrote this essay.
→ Emphasizing that *I* personally did it.

2. They will cook lunch themselves.
→ Emphasizing that they will do it without help.

3. He did the work all by himself.
→ He did it alone; no one else helped.

4. This machine can work by itself.
→ The machine operates without human intervention.

5. Anil saw himself in the mirror.
→ Anil looked at his own reflection.

6. God helps those who help themselves.
→ A well-known proverb meaning people should take initiative.

7. They themselves drove the car up the hill.
→ Emphasizing that *they* personally drove it.

8. Anita and Beena read the letter themselves.
→ They read it directly, not someone else.

9. The cake in the oven will bake by itself.
→ It will cook without needing attention.

10. Mother went herself to meet my principal.
→ She personally went — emphasizing her direct involvement.

C. Use the interrogative pronouns to complete these sentences

Interrogative pronouns include: who, whom, whose, which, what.

Let’s analyze each:

1. Whose house is this?
→ Asking about ownership of the house.

2. Whose is your box?
→ This sounds awkward. Correct version: *"Whose box is this?"*
But as written: “______ is your box?” → Should be What.
→ What is your box? (asking about the identity of the box)

✔ So: What is your box?

3. Which bags are these?
→ Asking about specific bags among a group.

4. What do you want for him?
→ Asking about the object (a gift, item, etc.) desired.

5. Who do you want to meet?
→ Asking about a person.

6. Where is your work in that office?
→ This seems off. If asking about location: Where is your work in that office?
But if the sentence is "______ is your work in that office?" — likely intended to be Where, but the structure is odd.
Alternatively, if it's asking about the nature of work: What is your work in that office?
But based on grammar, the most logical choice is Where.

✔ Where is your work in that office?
(Assuming asking about location.)

7. Who was shouting in the corridor?
→ Asking about the person.

8. Who is that boy who lives next door?
→ Asking for identification of the boy.

9. Which is your aunt in that group of ladies?
→ Asks to identify *which one* among several.
