About This Resource
This C1 resource develops control of substitution, in which forms such as one, ones, do, and related substitutes stand in for previously understood material. It focuses on antecedent precision, cohesion, contrast, and register so that substitution reduces repetition without weakening reference.
What You’ll Learn
• Recognize common noun-phrase and verbal substitution patterns.
• Identify the exact antecedent or structure represented by the substitute.
• Choose substitutes that preserve number, meaning, and grammatical fit.
• Avoid substitution when the intended reference would become unclear or misleading.
