Demonstrative Pronouns and Adjectives
Demonstrative pronouns and demonstrative adjectives are both used to point out specific things or people, but they function differently in a sentence.
Demonstrative Pronouns:
A demonstrative pronoun replaces a noun and indicates a specific thing or person in relation to the speaker. These pronouns help distinguish between objects or people based on their proximity (near or far) in time or space. They are:
This (singular, near the speaker)
That (singular, far from the speaker)
These (plural, near the speaker)
Those (plural, far from the speaker)
