Question

Rewrite the sentences using a Direct Object Pronoun (DOP). Write each sentence two ways.

a. He reads the book.
b. She writes the letter.
c. They ate the cake.
d. I have seen the movie.

Answer 1

To use Direct Object Pronouns correctly, replace the direct object of a sentence with 'it'. The rewritten sentences with DOPs become more concise and avoid repetition.

Step-by-step explanation:

When rewriting sentences using a Direct Object Pronoun (DOP), we want to replace the direct object with the appropriate pronoun. Here’s how each given sentence can be re-written:

• He reads it. / He's reading it.
• She writes it. / She's writing it.
• They ate it. / They've eaten it.
• I have seen it. / I've seen it.

In these sentences, 'it' is the Direct Object Pronoun that replaces 'the book', 'the letter', 'the cake', and 'the movie' respectively. The subject personal pronouns (he, she, they, I) are performing the action of the verb, and the action is affecting the pronouns. The use of DOPs helps to avoid repetition and makes sentences more concise
