Demonstrativos / Demonstratives this, that, these, those

? Marie-Claire Hunter, 2013

This lesson is going to talk about words like `this', `that', `these' and `those'.

`this', `that', `these', `those

If you don't like grammar look away now, but for those who do, `this', `that', `these' and `those' can be adjectives or pronouns.

These words are known as `demonstratives'.

Don't look yet ...

Adjectives describe nouns. `This' flower. Pronouns replace nouns. `This' is for you. (heart)

If the demonstrative appears next to a noun it's an adjective. If it's alone it's a pronoun. Can you decide if the ones that appear in the following sentences are adjectives or pronouns?

`This' girl is my sister. `This' is my sister.

`That' boy is my brother. `That' is my brother. `These' are my shoes.

`Those' shoes are yours.
