 I. Definition

“These” and “These” are used as demonstrative adjectives and

sometimes simply as demonstrative pronouns. When they are used together
with noun and modify noun , they are demonstrative adjectives. When
they are not used with noun but stand in place of noun, they are demonstrative
pronouns.

II. Usage

from us.

demonstrative Adjectives, and when they stand in place of noun, they are
demonstrative pronouns.
