she, it).

2. He writes in his journal daily.


3. The dog barks at strangers.

4. My brother likes chocolate ice cream.

pronoun agrees with its antecedent.

3. Use Affixes to Form New Words: Try adding common prefixes and suffixes to root words you
know.

4. Find Themes in Stories: Think of a book or movie you know well and try to identify its theme.

5. Practice Verb Forms: Write sentences using "-s" form verbs for singular third-person subjects.
