Definition of Demonstrative Pronouns

Demonstrative pronouns are words that we use to point to specific things or people. They help us show which things or people we are talking about without naming them.

There are four main demonstrative pronouns in English: “this,” “that,” “these,” and “those.”

“This” and “these” refer to things that are close to the speaker. We use “this” for one thing and “these” for more than one.

For example, if you’re holding a book, you can say, “This is my book.” If you have two books, you say, “These are my books.” “That” and “those” point to things farther away. “That” is for a single thing, and “those” is for many. If you see a dog across the street, you might say, “That dog is big.” If there are many dogs, you’d say, “Those dogs are big.”
