Writing Cohesively Worksheets: Using Pronouns in Sentences supports students in improving the fluency and cohesion of their writing by replacing repetitive nouns with personal and possessive pronouns. This focused grammar activity encourages learners to identify and correct redundancy, resulting in smoother and more natural sentence structures.

Students will work through sets of sentence pairs that are intentionally repetitive, then practise rewriting them using appropriate pronouns. As they edit and revise, they’ll develop a stronger sense of how pronouns can link ideas and reduce unnecessary repetition. The task encourages reflection and active decision-making about language, making it a valuable support for developing writers.
