Demonstrative Adjectives

Demonstrative adjectives are the same words (this/that/these/those), but they come before a noun to describe which one.

this book, that car

these pens, those houses

I like this colour.

Those boys are my friends.

A demonstrative pronoun stands alone ("This is mine"); a demonstrative adjective comes before a noun ("this pen").

Common mistake: Matching number wrongly: "this books" is wrong. Use these books (plural) or this book (singular).
