WHAT IS IT

Demonstrative Pronouns are used to show or identify

one or a number of nouns that may be far or near in
distance or time. They are only four in number:
This, That, These and Those.

4
This and That are singular (only one object or thing)
demonstrative pronouns and These and Those are plural
(more than one object or thing) demonstrative pronouns.
They are also used to show an unspecified quantity in a
sentence.
Example 1: This ballpen that I used in writing is new.
This is a demonstrative pronoun that is referring to a
specific noun (ballpen). It is a singular pronoun because it
only refers to only one ballpen and the object is near
from the person talking.
Example 2: That is a beautiful house.
That is a demonstrative pronoun that is referring to a
specific noun (house). It is a singular pronoun as it is
referring to only one house and it is far from the person
talking.
Example 3: These were made by me.
The word These, shows an unspecified quantity of
something that was made by a person. The
demonstrative pronoun These, is in plural form, because it
is referring to several objects which are near to the person
talking.
Example 4: Everyone remembers those days.
The word Those in the sentence, shows a particular
time or period of days in the past. It is being used in place
of a noun that could be – school, summer, college, etc.
Here, the word those indicates number of days and it is far
from the person talking. It is a plural demonstrative
pronoun.
