What this grammar point covers
Demonstratives are words like 'this', 'that', 'these', and 'those'. We use them to show which person or thing we are talking about.
When to use it
Use demonstratives to point to people or things. Use 'this' or 'these' for things close to you. Use 'that' or 'those' for things far from you.
Key forms
- 'this' (singular, near)
- 'that' (singular, far)
- 'these' (plural, near)
- 'those' (plural, far)
Examples
That is your pen.
These are my friends.
Those are apples.
Tips
- Remember: 'this' and 'that' are for one thing, 'these' and 'those' are for more than one.
- Use 'this' and 'these' for things near you, 'that' and 'those' for things far from you.
