Emphatic Connections

This worksheet helps students in Grades 3, 4, and 5 develop a clear understanding of how intensive pronouns add emphasis within sentences. Learners read each sentence carefully and match it with the most logical intensive pronoun, focusing on sentence meaning, pronoun-antecedent agreement, grammatical structure, and emphasis. By comparing options, students strengthen their ability to recognize how pronoun choice subtly affects tone and clarity.
