Ways of referring

There are several techniques you can use to refer back to the subject within your text. For instance you can,

1A. Repeat the key subject words in a text

1B. Replace key subject words with synonyms (words which have a similar meaning)

1C. Replace key subject words with demonstratives (this, that, these, those)

1D. Replace key subject words with pronouns (I, we, they, it etc)

For more information on how each of these ways of referring was used in the model paragraph go to each section. Further information, examples and activities about each method of referring is also provided within each section.
