Daily Grammar Sentences

Instructions: Give the student the sentences in the

second column (Sentences to be Corrected). Students
write corrected sentences and turn them in to the teacher
to be checked.
Note: These sentences contain the imperative
sentences, which are not introduced in this curriculum.
Students may, however, be familiar with the construction
from everyday classroom instructions. Teachers should
be aware of this point but should not feel obligated to
explain it unless students specifically question it.

Activity
Finish the Sentence
Type of Activity: Independent
Materials Needed: Copy of correct grammar
sentences for this week, paper, pencil
Directions for student:
The name of something is missing in each of these
sentences. In English, we can take out the name of
something and replace it with a special pronoun as long
as everyone knows what the thing is that we are talking
about. Rewrite the sentences you fixed. Instead of using
the special pronoun, fill in the name of the thing you think
is missing. For example: Change Where is yours? to

Where is your peanut butter sandwich? Your sentences

can be silly!
Assessment: Through written work, based on the
quality of sentences produced.

Grammar Explanation
You can only use possessive pronouns when all the
people involved in the interaction understand to what you
are referring. These are very similar to possessive
adjectives but do not take objects:

singular

plural

first
my
person - mine

our
- ours

second your

your

person - yours - yours

his - his
third her
their
person - hers - theirs
its - its
Be careful to distinguish how its is different
from its. His does not change it takes the same form
as a possessive pronoun and the possessive adjective.
Negatives and questions are formed just like with other
sentences with the possessive pronoun simply replacing
the noun:
He does not have my apple. He does not have mine.
Do you have their pen? Do you have theirs?
