You will be required to identify the pronoun as a subject pronoun or object pronoun. EX: He wrote the story. (You will label this “subj” for subject pronoun since the pronoun is the subject of the sentence.) Practice Examples: Identify each underlined subject pronoun or object pronoun. Then, write obj for object pronoun or write subj if it is a subject pronoun. _____ 1. He will tell you story about three characters in mythology. _____ 2. They are named Daphne, Apollo, and Cupid. _____ 3. Apollo loved Daphne, but Daphne did not love him. _____ 4. The malice of Cupid caused the dissention between them. _____ 5.

The malice of Cupid caused the dissention between them. obj 5. Apollo said, “Cupid’s arrows are not worthy weapons for me.” Practice Examples: Write the correct pronoun in each blank.

Arachne is a skilled weaver. _________ boasts about her weaving. 3. Arachne first forms woolen threads. ________ feel as soft as clouds. 4. People watch Arachne and admire her work.

If the verb is one of the 12 linking verbs that can also be used as action verbs, remember to test it by replacing it with “is” or “are.” If the sentence maintains its original meaning after the substitution, then you have a LINKING VERB. If the sentence no longer makes sense, then you have an ACTION VERB! _____ 6. Their team had defeated the last team. Practice Examples: Underline the verb or verb phrase in the following sentences. Then, label each verb as an action verb (AV) or a linking verb (LV). LV 1. Our pitcher appears very nervous today. AV 2. He shows a serious lack of concentration. AV 3. The catcher ran very quickly.
