Teacher’s Overview: Basic Pronouns
Level: Basic (very beginners with little or no English)
Target Language:
- Subject pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
- Object pronouns: me, you, him, her, it, us, them
- Possessive adjectives: my, your, his, her, its, our, their
Skills Focus: Listening, repeating, pointing, simple speaking, visual recognition of pronouns.
