Demonstrative pronouns are pronouns used to point to specific things, people, places, or ideas. They are used to indicate whether something is near or far, singular or plural. Common demonstrative pronouns include “this”, “that”, “these”, and “those”. “This” and “these” are referring to items that are close, while “that” and “those” referring to items that are farther away. Demonstrative pronouns help to clarify meaning and avoid confusion in communication.
