Replace with Demonstratives

This worksheet requires students to rewrite sentences by replacing repeated nouns with the appropriate demonstrative pronoun. Each item includes two simple sentences in which the second repeats a noun unnecessarily. Students substitute this, that, these, or those to avoid repetition and improve sentence flow. This activity teaches simplification, cohesion, and pronoun efficiency in writing. A challenge extension invites students to apply the strategy to their own sentences, reinforcing practical grammar use.
