Demonstrative Pronouns

Demonstrative pronouns are words used to point to specific items or people, indicating their location relative to the speaker. Common examples include "this," "that," "these," and "those." They help clarify which object or person is being referred to in conversation or writing—for example, "This is my book" or "Those are my friends." "This" and "these" typically refer to items close to the speaker, while "that" and "those" refer to things farther away. They serve as substitutes for nouns to make communication clearer and more concise.
