Say It Once, Say It Right: Using Pronouns to Avoid Repetition for Grade 3

This Grade 3 worksheet helps students learn how to use pronouns correctly to avoid repeating the same nouns again and again in sentences and short paragraphs. Children practise replacing repeated names, objects, and nouns with suitable pronouns such as he, she, it, and they to make their writing smoother and more natural.

Through carefully structured activities, learners identify correct and incorrect usage, choose better sentence options, fill in pronouns using clues, and rewrite short paragraphs to remove repetition. The worksheet also includes a longer paragraph exercise that helps students apply pronoun usage in connected writing. These activities support clear communication, better sentence flow, and early paragraph-writing skills in an age-appropriate and practical way.

1. It teaches how pronouns replace repeated nouns in sentences. 
2. It improves sentence flow and makes writing sound natural.
