There are several types of substitution in the English language, including:
1. Pronoun substitution: replacing a noun with a pronoun (e.g. "John went to the store" can be substituted with "He went to the store").
2. Synonym substitution: replacing a word with a synonym (e.g. "big" can be substituted with "large").
3. Antonym substitution: replacing a word with an antonym (e.g. "happy" can be substituted with "sad").
4. Clause substitution: replacing a clause with another clause (e.g. "I will go to the store if it stops raining" can be substituted with "I will go to the store when it stops raining").
5. Verb substitution: replacing a verb with another verb (e.g. "run" can be substituted with "walk").
6. Adjective substitution: replacing an adjective with another adjective (e.g. "beautiful" can be substituted with "gorgeous").
7. Noun phrase substitution: replacing a noun phrase with another noun phrase (e.g. "the big red car" can be substituted with "the small blue car").
These are just a few examples of the types of substitution that can occur in the English language.
