Demonstratives

Demonstratives are words used to point to specific things or people in a conversation or text. Common examples include "this," "that," "these," and "those." They help show whether you're referring to something nearby or farther away, singular or plural, in space or time. For example, "this book" refers to a book close to you, while "those cars" points to cars farther away. Demonstratives are essential for clarity, guiding others to understand exactly what or whom you're talking about without confusion.
