Both question types reward students who\u2019ve internalized the rule rather than relying on how the sentence sounds.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">If you missed the link to the handouts, here it is again.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d97d926 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"d97d926\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/bookunitsteacher.com\/grammar\/pronoun-activities.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-md\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-paper-plane\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Grab your handouts here.<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e277451 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e277451\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ae06394\" data-id=\"ae06394\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1dc558a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1dc558a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"col-sm-9\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">See the product that inspired this post.<\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-cf2538f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cf2538f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-f3866a4\" data-id=\"f3866a4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e975d7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e975d7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teacherspayteachers.com\/Product\/Teaching-5th-Grade-Grammar-with-Animated-Shorts-7622212\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/bookunitsteacher.com\/shortfilms\/grammar\/grammar-fifth-grade.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"Teaching 5th Grade Grammar Skills with The Animated Shorts Series\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7a8698c\" data-id=\"7a8698c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e8dc59 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5e8dc59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Ready to dive deeper?<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To look at how\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Teaching Grammar with Animated Shorts<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0can transform your grammar lessons, visit my\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Teachers Pay Teachers store<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.
