Demonstrative Pronouns (this/that/these/those)
Demonstrative pronouns point to things by distance (near/far) and number (one/many). They stand alone (no noun after them).
| One | Many | |
|---|---|---|
| Near | this | these |
| Far | that | those |
This is my bag. That is yours.
These are apples. Those are oranges.
This is delicious!
Near = this/these. Far = that/those. One = this/that. Many = these/those.
Common mistake: Using "this" for plural ("this are books"). For many near things, use "these are books."
