Words and sentences are related to each other. Sometimes we find it confusing to follow a text because we don’t know whom or what the writer is talking about. This may be because he/she (the writer) has used reference words.
What are reference words? These are words we use instead of the names of people, things, or ideas already mentioned in the text.
Which words can be used as reference words?
1. All the pronouns: he, she, it, they, him, our, its, etc.
2. this – that, these – those
3. here-there, now-then one – ones
4. such – so
5. the former – the latter
In most of the cases (but not in all of them), you will have to go BACK in the text.
Examples:
months but his mother taught him at home.
All 3 reference words here refer to Thomas Edison.
“These” refers to “tents”.
The word “one” refers to “course”.
“That” refers to the fact that “smoking is dangerous.
“Such changes” refers to changes in specific needs that depend on age and circumstances. “their” refers to “children”.
