Demonstrative Pronouns
A demonstrative pronoun is a pronoun that is used to point to
something specific within a sentence. These pronouns can
indicate items in space or time, and they can be either singular
or plural.
When used to represent a thing or things, demonstrative
pronouns can be either near or far in distance or time:

Near in time or distance: this, these

Far in time or distance: that, those

Because there are only a few demonstrative pronouns in the
English language, there are just three simple rules for using
them correctly. Remember them and you will have no
difficulty using these surprisingly interesting parts of speech.
Demonstrative pronouns always identify nouns, whether
those nouns are named specifically or not. For example: I
cant believe this. We have no idea what this is, but its
definitely something the writer cannot believe. It exists,
even though we dont know what it is.
Demonstrative pronouns are usually used to describe
animals, places, or things, however they can be used to
describe people when the person is identified,
i.e., This sounds like Mary singing.
Do not confuse demonstrative adjectives with
demonstrative pronouns. The words are identical, but
demonstrative adjectives qualify nouns, whereas
demonstrative pronouns stand alone.
Demonstrative pronouns can be used in place of a noun, so
long as the noun being replaced can be understood from the
pronouns context. Although this concept might seem a bit
confusing at first, the following examples of demonstrative
pronouns will add clarity.
Demonstrative Pronouns Examples
In the following examples, demonstrative
pronouns have been italicized for ease of
identification.
This was my mothers ring.
That looks like the car I used to drive.
These are nice shoes, but they look
uncomfortable.
Those look like riper than the apples on my
tree.
Such was her command over the English
language.
None of these answers are correct.
Neither of the horses can be ridden.
