DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUN

A demonstrative pronoun is a type of pronoun used to point to specific things or people, indicating their relative position in time or space. The most common demonstrative pronouns in English are this, that, these, and those. This and these are used to refer to something that is close to the speaker, with this for singular and these for plural objects or people. That and those are used for items farther away, with that for singular and those for plural. For example, in the sentences This is my book and Those are her shoes, the demonstrative pronouns specify which items are being referred to, helping clarify meaning and context in communication.
