Pronoun Operation Room

This creative editing activity places students in the role of grammar surgeons responsible for diagnosing and repairing sentences with injured pronouns. Each sentence contains an incorrect use of who or whom, and learners must identify the error, determine whether the pronoun should function as a subject or object, and rewrite the corrected sentence. The medical theme adds a playful twist while encouraging careful grammatical analysis. Created for grades 6-8, this worksheet develops editing expertise, sentence analysis, and advanced pronoun mastery.
