DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS

We use demonstrative pronouns when we want to point to specific

people or things. In other words, it is a pronoun that expresses the position of a
person or an object as near or distant (even when talking about time).
We have four demonstrative pronouns: this, that, these and those.

Look at the chart below to understand each of the pronouns:

Let’s see some examples:

 Look at that dog, it is so cute.
 This is a nice cup of tea.
 This is Janet, she is my friend.
 Those aren’t my shoes. Those are John’s.
 Are these your books?
 Who is this?
 This is my house, and that is hers.
