LESSON 86.
CONSTRUCTION OF PRONOUNS.
TO THE TEACHER.--In the recitation of all Lessons containing errors for
correction, the pupils' books should be closed, and the examples should be
read by you. To insure care in preparation, and close attention in the
class, read some of the examples in their correct form. Require specific
reasons.
+Caution+.--Avoid _he_, _it_, _they_, or any other pronoun when its
reference to an antecedent would not be clear. Repeat the noun instead,
quote the speaker's exact words, or recast the sentence.
+Direction+.
