• When would you use a subjective pronoun and an objective pronoun?
• Think about how writers use pronouns. Reread paragraphs 13–14 of the chapter “Flipped.” Read the paragraphs using only pronouns and not the names of the characters? Why might this be confusing for readers?
• Reread paragraphs 13–14 aloud to a partner, using only proper names and no pronouns. How does this usage affect the flow of writing?
Possessive Pronouns
The possessive pronouns show ownership. Complete the chart below by writing the possessive pronouns that correspond to the pronouns in the left column. Find examples of how these pronouns are used in Flipped and discuss with a partner.
I
you
he/she/they
