A Formal Upgrade

Students rewrite informal sentences to make them more formal by using beside and besides appropriately. They must correct misuse of each word and ensure the final sentence matches a polished, academic tone. This activity reinforces understanding of meaning differences between the two prepositions while strengthening revision skills. Learners improve clarity, accuracy, and stylistic control in their writing.
