Pronoun categorization worksheet for grammar practice.

Let’s go step by step to categorize each pronoun correctly.

We have 6 categories:
- Objective (used as object of verb or preposition)
- Subjective (used as subject of sentence)
- Possessive (shows ownership — can be adjectives like “my” or pronouns like “mine”)
- Reflexive (ends in -self/-selves, refers back to subject)
- Demonstrative (points to specific things: this, that, these, those)
- Indefinite (refers to non-specific people/things: anybody, somebody, nobody, etc.)

Now let’s sort each word from the list:

List of words:
mine, yours, his, hers, its
this, yourself, himself, it, somebody
myself, that, whose, us, those
ours, himself, whom, she, her
me, you, I, he, theirs
whom, them, ourselves, they, themselves
we, you, everybody, they, who
you, them, these, nobody, who

Wait — some words are repeated. We’ll list each unique word once and assign it to the correct category.

First, let’s group them logically.

---

Subjective Pronouns (subject of sentence):
I, you, he, she, it, we, they, who
→ Also: “who” is subjective when used as subject (“Who called?”)

But note: “whom” is objective → so “who” stays here.

Also: “everybody”, “somebody”, “nobody” — these are indefinite, not subjective even though they act as subjects sometimes. Category is based on type, not function in a sentence.

So subjective = personal pronouns used as subject:
I, you, he, she, it, we, they, who

Wait — “who” is interrogative/relative, but often grouped under subjective for simplicity at this level? Let’s check standard school classification.

Actually, in many elementary/middle school worksheets, “who” is considered subjective case, “whom” objective.

Similarly, “whose” is possessive.

Let’s use standard K–8 grammar grouping:

---

Objective: me, you, him, her, it, us, them, whom
→ Note: “you” and “it” appear in both subjective and objective — same form. But we list them where they’re typically taught. In this worksheet, since “you” appears multiple times, we should place it in both if needed? Wait — no, the instruction says “categorize the different types”, meaning each word goes into one box only? Or can a word go in multiple?

Looking at the worksheet layout — each word is listed once in the top bank, and we write them into the boxes below. So likely, each word belongs to ONE primary category.

But some pronouns belong to more than one category depending on usage. For example, “you” can be subjective or objective. However, in such worksheets, they usually expect you to put each word in the category it’s most commonly associated with OR follow strict grammatical case.

Standard approach for this level:

Let’s define clearly:

✔ Subjective: I, you, he, she, it, we, they, who
✔ Objective: me, you, him, her, it, us, them, whom
→ Uh oh — conflict for “you”, “it”

But wait — in reality, “you” and “it” don’t change form. So how do we handle?

In many curricula, they teach:

- Subjective: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
- Objective: me, you, him, her, it, us, them
→ So “you” and “it” appear in both.

But in this worksheet, since each word is listed once in the bank, and we have to put them into one box, perhaps we need to choose based on typical teaching.

Alternatively, maybe the worksheet expects us to recognize that some pronouns fit multiple categories — but the boxes are separate, so probably each word goes in one box only.

Let me look at common classifications for such exercises.

Upon checking standard resources (like HaveFunTeaching.com, which made this), here’s how they usually classify:

From similar worksheets:

Subjective: I, you, he, she, it, we, they, who
Objective: me, you, him, her, it, us, them, whom
→ Again, overlap.

But in practice, for sorting activities, they often allow a word to be placed in only one category — usually the one that matches its *case* form. Since “you” doesn’t change, it might be listed under both — but the worksheet has separate boxes.

Wait — looking again at the word bank: “you” appears three times! Let’s count occurrences in the original image text:

Original list (as typed by user):

mine
this
myself
ours
me
whom
we
you
yours
yourself
that
himself
anybody
you
them
his
herself
him
whose
I
these
everybody
hers
it
us
he
ourselves
they
nobody
its
somebody
those
she
her
theirs
themselves
who

Count of “you”: appears 3 times → so we can put one in subjective, one in objective, one... wait, reflexive? No, “yourself” is reflexive.

Actually, “you” itself is not reflexive — “yourself” is.

So perhaps the repetition allows us to place “you” in multiple categories? But the directions say “categorize the different types of pronouns” — implying each instance gets categorized.

But the answer format requires us to fill the boxes — so we should list all instances appropriately.

However, for clarity and correctness, let’s assign each unique pronoun to its primary grammatical category, and if a word fits multiple, we’ll note it — but since the worksheet likely expects one placement per occurrence, and there are duplicates, we can use the duplicates to fill multiple categories.

But to keep it simple and accurate, let’s use standard educational classification:

Here’s the correct categorization per standard U.S. elementary/middle school grammar:

---

Objective Case (object of verb/preposition):
me, you, him, her, it, us, them, whom
→ From list: me, you, him, her, it, us, them, whom

Note: “you” and “it” also appear in subjective — but since they’re listed multiple times, we can assign one “you” to objective, another to subjective.

Similarly for “it”.

But let’s proceed systematically.

Let me make a master list with categories:

1. mine → Possessive (pronoun)
2. this → Demonstrative
3. myself → Reflexive
4. ours → Possessive
5. me → Objective
6. whom → Objective
7. we → Subjective
8. you → Can be Subjective or Objective — we’ll put one in each later
9. yours → Possessive
10. yourself → Reflexive
11. that → Demonstrative
12. himself → Reflexive
13. anybody → Indefinite
14. you → again → let’s put this in Objective
15. them → Objective
16. his → Possessive (can be adjective or pronoun; here likely possessive pronoun)
17. herself → Reflexive
18. him → Objective
19. whose → Possessive
20. I → Subjective
21. these → Demonstrative
22. everybody → Indefinite
23. hers → Possessive
24. it → Can be Subjective or Objective — we’ll split
25. us → Objective
26. he → Subjective
27. ourselves → Reflexive
28. they → Subjective
29. nobody → Indefinite
30. its → Possessive
31. somebody → Indefinite
32. those → Demonstrative
33. she → Subjective
34. her → Objective (also possessive adjective, but as pronoun, “her” is objective; “hers” is possessive pronoun)
→ Important: “her” vs “hers”
- “her” = objective case (e.g., I saw her)
- “hers” = possessive pronoun (e.g., The book is hers)
So “her” → Objective
“hers” → Possessive
35. theirs → Possessive
36. themselves → Reflexive
37. who → Subjective (interrogative/relative subject)
38. you → third time → let’s put in Subjective
39. them → already did → Objective
40. these → already did → Demonstrative
41. nobody → already did → Indefinite
42. who → again → Subjective

Wait, “who” appears twice — both times subjective.

Now, let’s compile final lists without duplication unless necessary.

Since the worksheet has blank lines, we can list each occurrence as per the bank.

But to avoid confusion, I’ll provide the correct category for each unique pronoun, and note duplicates.

Final Categorization:

Objective:
me, you, him, her, it, us, them, whom
→ From list: me, you (first occurrence?), him, her, it (one), us, them, whom
But “you” appears 3 times — we can assign two to objective? Standardly, “you” is both, but for this exercise, since “whom” is exclusively objective, and “me”, “him”, etc., let’s list:

Objective: me, you, him, her, it, us, them, whom
(That’s 8 words — and “you” and “it” are included)

But in the word bank, “you” appears 3 times, “it” once, “them” twice, etc.

To match the worksheet exactly, let’s list every item from the bank and assign:

Word Bank in order (with duplicates):

1. mine → Possessive
2. this → Demonstrative
3. myself → Reflexive
4. ours → Possessive
5. me → Objective
6. whom → Objective
7. we → Subjective
8. you → Let's say Subjective (first "you")
9. yours → Possessive
10. yourself → Reflexive
11. that → Demonstrative
12. himself → Reflexive
13. anybody → Indefinite
14. you → Objective (second "you")
15. them → Objective
16. his → Possessive
17. herself → Reflexive
18. him → Objective
19. whose → Possessive
20. I → Subjective
21. these → Demonstrative
22. everybody → Indefinite
23. hers → Possessive
24. it → Subjective (since "it" as subject is common)
25. us → Objective
26. he → Subjective
27. ourselves → Reflexive
28. they → Subjective
29. nobody → Indefinite
30. its → Possessive
31. somebody → Indefinite
32. those → Demonstrative
33. she → Subjective
34. her → Objective
35. theirs → Possessive
36. themselves → Reflexive
37. who → Subjective
38. you → Subjective (third "you" — but we already have two "you"s assigned; perhaps this is extra)
39. them → Objective (second "them")
40. these → Demonstrative (second "these"? Wait, in list above, "these" was #21, now #40 — yes, duplicate)
41. nobody → Indefinite (duplicate)
42. who → Subjective (duplicate)

This is messy. Better to group by category and list all instances.

Let me create clean lists for each category, including duplicates as they appear in the bank.

From the word bank provided:

Words:

mine, this, myself, ours, me, whom, we, you, yours, yourself, that, himself, anybody, you, them, his, herself, him, whose, I, these, everybody, hers, it, us, he, ourselves, they, nobody, its, somebody, those, she, her, theirs, themselves, who, you, them, these, nobody, who

Total 42 items.

Now, categorize each:

- mine: Possessive
- this: Demonstrative
- myself: Reflexive
- ours: Possessive
- me: Objective
- whom: Objective
- we: Subjective
- you: Subjective (let's assign first "you" to subjective)
- yours: Possessive
- yourself: Reflexive
- that: Demonstrative
- himself: Reflexive
- anybody: Indefinite
- you: Objective (second "you")
- them: Objective
- his: Possessive
- herself: Reflexive
- him: Objective
- whose: Possessive
- I: Subjective
- these: Demonstrative
- everybody: Indefinite
- hers: Possessive
- it: Subjective (assign to subjective)
- us: Objective
- he: Subjective
- ourselves: Reflexive
- they: Subjective
- nobody: Indefinite
- its: Possessive
- somebody: Indefinite
- those: Demonstrative
- she: Subjective
- her: Objective
- theirs: Possessive
- themselves: Reflexive
- who: Subjective
- you: Subjective (third "you" — but we have only two cases; perhaps this is redundant, but we'll put in subjective)
- them: Objective (second "them")
- these: Demonstrative (second "these")
- nobody: Indefinite (second "nobody")
- who: Subjective (second "who")

Now, let's tally per category:

Objective:
me, whom, you (second), them (first), him, us, her, them (second)
→ That's 8: me, whom, you, them, him, us, her, them

But "you" second and "them" second are duplicates.

List: me, whom, you, them, him, us, her, them → 8 items

Subjective:
we, you (first), I, it, he, they, she, who (first), you (third), who (second)
→ we, you, I, it, he, they, she, who, you, who → 10 items

But "you" appears three times total: we assigned first and third to subjective, second to objective.

"who" twice: both subjective.

Possessive:
mine, ours, yours, his, whose, hers, its, theirs
→ 8 items

Reflexive:
myself, yourself, himself, herself, ourselves, themselves
→ 6 items

Demonstrative:
this, that, these (first), those, these (second)
→ this, that, these, those, these → 5 items

Indefinite:
anybody, everybody, nobody (first), somebody, nobody (second)
→ anybody, everybody, nobody, somebody, nobody → 5 items

Now, let's verify count:

Objective: 8
Subjective: 10
Possessive: 8
Reflexive: 6
Demonstrative: 5
Indefinite: 5
Total: 8+10+8+6+5+5 = 42 ✓

Perfect.

Now, for the final answer, we list the words under each category as they would be written in the boxes.

Note: Some sources may argue about "it" being only subjective or objective, but in standard teaching, "it" is used in both, and since we have only one "it", we assigned it to subjective. Similarly, "you" we split.

But to align with common textbook answers, let's confirm with a reliable source mentally.

Upon recall, in many such worksheets:

- "it" is often listed under subjective, and objective is implied.
- "you" is listed in both, but since we have three "you"s, we can distribute.

Our distribution seems reasonable.

Final Answer:

Objective: me, whom, you, them, him, us, her, them
Subjective: we, you, I, it, he, they, she, who, you, who
Possessive: mine, ours, yours, his, whose, hers, its, theirs
Reflexive: myself, yourself, himself, herself, ourselves, themselves
Demonstrative: this, that, these, those, these
Indefinite: anybody, everybody, nobody, somebody, nobody

But to write neatly, and since the worksheet has lines, we can list them in any order within category.

Also, note that "them" and "these" and "nobody" and "who" and "you" are duplicated, so we include duplicates as per the bank.

For the boxed answer, we'll present each category with its words.
