Questions about Relative Pronouns

What does the Relative Pronouns worksheet cover?

It practises choosing who, whose or that for a relative clause — 4 questions for Grade 4, all on Common Core L.4.1: Use relative pronouns, progressive verbs, modal auxiliaries and correct adjective order. The instruction to pupils is “Finish each sentence”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Relative Pronouns practise?

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.4.1 — L.4.1, in the Language domain for Grade 4. The published standard reads: “Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Relative Pronouns is written for Grade 4, typically ages 9-10. It is one of the sheets on L.4.1, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does Relative Pronouns come with an answer key?

Yes. All 4 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.

How many different versions of Relative Pronouns can I print?

25 versions, of which 16 ask genuinely different questions — this skill does not have 25 distinct questions to give, so the rest reorder them and no two pupils still share a paper. Set 1 downloads all 25 as one PDF.

Is Relative Pronouns free to print and photocopy?

Yes. Relative Pronouns, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
