Class 5 Grammar Worksheet on Reflexive Pronouns – Usage and Correction

Do It Yourself: Reflexive Pronouns for Class 5

This Grade 5 worksheet helps learners identify and correctly use reflexive pronouns like *myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves,* and *themselves*. Through underlining, correction, blanks, dialogues, and paragraph writing, students gain confidence in describing actions where the doer and receiver are the same.

Why Reflexive Pronouns Matter in Grammar?

Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject. For Grade 5 students, these are important because:

1. They show that the subject and object of the action are the same.

2. They avoid awkward repetition in writing.

3. They build sentence clarity and correctness.

4. They prepare students to use reflexive forms in both narrative and formal writing.
