The Witch
by Jack Prelutsky
She comes by night, in
Cracked and chipped and
fearsome flight,
crackled lips
In garments black as pitch, That frame a toothless grin.
The Queen of Doom upon her
broom,
She hurtles by, she sweeps
The wild and wicked witch,
the sky
And hurls a piercing screech.
A cackling crone with brittle As she swoops past, a spell is
bones
cast
And desiccated limbs,
On all her curses reach.
Two evil eyes with warts and
sties
Take care to hide when the
And bags about the rims,
wild witch rides
To shriek her evil spell.
A dangling nose, ten twisted What she may do with a word
toes
or two
And folds of shriveled skin,
Is much too grim to tell.

Subjective Pronouns
• Subject pronouns: are used when the pronoun is
the subject of the sentence.
• You can remember subject pronouns easily by
filling in the blank subject space for a simple
sentence.
• Example: ______ did the job.
I, you, he, she, it, we, and they all fit into the blank
and are, therefore, subject pronouns.
Objective Pronouns
• Object pronouns: pronouns that take the
place of objects.
• Object pronouns are me, you, him, her, it,
us, and them.
Hold Up!
• So what’s the difference between a subject of a sentence
and an object?
• A subject is something that does something. An object is
something that gets things done to it.
Jill went to the store.
Jill did something --she's the subject. The sentence is really
about her. The verb ("went") describes what Jill did.
The store: Got something done to it (had Jill go to it). No
verbs to describe anything about the store.
Possessive Pronouns

never need apostrophes. (tells whose it is)
