Category: Coherence and Cohesion

As you learn to write in English, you will learn how to balance repetition and variety, to ensure cohesion. One strategy to accomplish this purpose is to vary the way you refer to people and things. After the first reference to a noun form, you can refer to it with pronouns and demonstratives until the topic changes.

Using pronouns in the place of proper and common nouns can tie your writing together, but be careful to use the correct pronoun form for the structure of your sentence.
