<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3147657, member: 74968&quot;]I encounter this quite often in student writing. One problem is that the writer does not know how to refer to a co-referent pronoun. I always tell my class to avoid using this construction and restructure the sentence. The same advice applies for using reflexive pronouns. They are useful but only if you know how to use them. Unfortunately, I do not have time to teach grammar as well as my course content. </p><p><br /></p><p>One interesting writing exercise is to write in E-prime. This means writing without the use of the verb &quot;to be&quot; in any form.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
