Pronouns

    OCR
    GCSE

    Mastery of the pronominal system is critical for syntactic fluency, allowing candidates to reference antecedents efficiently and avoid redundancy in discourse. The scope includes the morphological distinction and syntactic placement of direct object, indirect object, reflexive, and disjunctive pronouns across various tenses and moods. Assessment focuses on the accurate manipulation of pronoun position relative to conjugated verbs, infinitives, and imperatives, as well as the sociolinguistic competence required for register-appropriate address.
