Pronoun Agreement and Possessive Nouns Review
A grammar review packet for high school juniors and seniors that drills pronoun-antecedent agreement, possessive noun formation, and related sentence-level skills like transitions, coordinating conjunctions, and punctuation. It includes worked rules with examples, like singular indefinite pronouns and compound antecedents, and is well suited to a focused 45-minute practice block or independent review.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a warm-up or mid-unit review before an editing assessment; students can work individually or in pairs to check and correct sentences.
- Discussion question: Why does "Neither the players nor the coach finished his notes" use a singular pronoun, and what changes if the sentence reverses the order of the nouns?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have them first underline the antecedent in each sentence and label it singular or plural before choosing the pronoun or apostrophe placement.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write a paragraph using transitions and coordinating conjunctions that includes at least three pronoun-antecedent relationships, then trade with a partner to proofread.
- Estimated time: About 40 to 45 minutes for the full review, or 15 to 20 minutes if you assign only the rules section as a quick check.
