REFERENCE WORDS

Reference words

= referentiewoorden

They refer back to words or phrases that have already been mentioned. Or they refer to words or phrases that will be introduced.

We use reference words to avoid repeating the same word.

The man paid the bill when the man received the man's check.

I want you to think of a way we can help young people who are in this situation.

Example: ''I think we should inform the parents with every minor incident because ...... ''

Try to think of a convincing idea. You also need to explain why. You need this in the class discussion today.
