What should a 6th grader be able to do after this unit?

Choose subject or object pronouns, use intensive pronouns such as myself, keep pronouns in agreement with what they refer to, write simple, compound and complex sentences, fix fragments and run-ons, and punctuate extra information. Grade levels vary by country and school.

How does RepeatWatch help with grammar?

Repeat one short lesson, such as who versus whom, until the rule feels familiar. Loop a single example with A–B, slow it to 0.75× to read along, save each rule on keys 1–9, and use Stop after N loops to keep practice brief.

Frequently asked questions

What is pronoun case?

Case is the form a pronoun takes for its job in a sentence: I, he and they as subjects, me, him and them as objects, and mine or theirs for possession. The Khan Academy subject and object pronouns video explains it.

What are intensive pronouns?

Intensive pronouns, such as myself or themselves, add emphasis, as in “I fixed it myself.” Khan Academy calls them emphatic pronouns. They look like reflexive pronouns, and the playlist covers both back to back.
