ACT Preparation / Unit 6 ACT 0511 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Pointing Words Fix a Sentence's Place
Captions available
The idea
Pronouns and words such as this, these, such, also and another point back to something already named. A sentence containing them must come after the thing they point to.
In practice
"These delays cost the city millions" must follow a sentence that names the delays.
Where people slip
Pointing words are placement clues. Find what each one refers to, and the sentence's position follows.
