Class 5 Grammar Worksheet on Demonstrative Pronouns – This, That, These, Those

Point It Out: Demonstrative Pronouns for Class 5

This Grade 5 worksheet helps learners use demonstrative pronouns like *this, that, these,* and *those* to refer to specific people or things. Through identification, fill-in-the-blanks, sentence correction, creative dialogue, and paragraph writing, students learn to choose the right word based on number and distance.

Why Demonstrative Pronouns Matter in Grammar?

Demonstrative pronouns are used daily in both speaking and writing. For Grade 5 learners, they are important because:

1. They clearly point to specific people, places, or objects.

2. They teach agreement between pronoun and noun (singular/plural).

3. They improve descriptive writing and oral communication.

4. They help learners avoid repetition while adding clarity.

This worksheet includes five grammar-building exercises for mastering demonstrative pronouns:

🧠 Exercise 1 – Underline the Pronouns

Students underline the demonstrative pronoun in each of ten example sentences.

✏️ Exercise 2 – Fill in the Blanks

📋 Exercise 3 – Rewrite the Sentences
