WRITING SKILT

Using pronouns

WRITINGTASK

Write sentencesusing pronouns.


Usingpronouns
When youwnitethe same word manytimes in a passage,it is boningto read.To avoidrepeating
the same wond,you can use a pnonouninstead.A pnonounis a wondthat is usedin placeof one
on mone nouns.Pensonalpnonounslhe/ him, she/ het // me, you/ you, they/ them, we/ us, it/ itl
show who is doingwhat [to who].Possessivepronounslhis, heCmJ4youc theil: out: lfs] show who
somethingbelongsto.
When you use pronouns,rememberthe following.
.
.

Usethe nameof the pensononthingthe finsttime you mentionit. Aftenthis,you can use
a pnonoun(Anthony is very ta//.He is also smart not He is very ta//.He is very smart.).
lf you anetalkingaboutsevenalpeopleonthings,do not use a pnonounif the
neadenwill not understand who on what it nefensto [Mary and Kim are both wearing
dresses. Kimb dress is red. not Mary and Kim are both wearing dresses. Her dress is redl.

Youmayfindthat your studentsuse a personalpnonounwhenthey shoulduse a possessive
pronoun [Him coat is brown. instead of His coat is brown.]. Getting them to make statements
aboutthe objectsin eachothen'sbagsmay helpreinfoncethe conrectusage.
