Substitutions for people, places and things
A substitution is a word that takes the place of another word in a sentence. For example:
Person: The student wrote the report.
Place: The meeting was held in the library.
Thing: The car had a flat tire, so we had to change it.
Tips for using substitutions:
Identify the subject, verb and object: The subject is the person, place or thing performing the action, the verb is the action being performed, and the object is the person, place or thing receiving the action.
Substitute the subject, verb and object: Replace the subject with the object, the verb with the action, and the object with the subject.
Use synonyms: If you don't know the exact word to substitute, you can use a synonym. For example, instead of saying "the student," you could say "the young person."
Examples:
Person: The teacher handed out the assignments.
Place: The meeting was held in the boardroom.
Thing: The car had a flat tire, so we had to change it.
