This morning we will talk about the

demonstrative pronoun. Are you familiar of it?

Well, at the end of our lesson you will know

more about it, and you are expected to construct
sentence using demonstrative pronoun.

Our lesson for this morning will be

“Demonstrative Pronoun” that we always used to
point out something in the sentence.

In general, demonstrative pronouns are small

(Micko raising his hand)
words that point to something. There are just
four in the English language. What are those?
Yes Micko? Demonstrative pronouns are ‘this,
these' and ‘these, those'.

Very good Micko! Thank you for sharing your

ideas. In fact, in English language there are just
four demonstrative pronouns and those are, ‘this,
that' and ‘these, those' Their meaning only
differs in terms of singular and plural (which
means the number of the antecedent they refer
to) and how far away the antecedent is located
from the speaker. Yes teacher!
Did you understand?

Okay! Let’s have example of demonstrative (Carlo is raising his hand)

pronoun. Any volunteer?

Using demonstrative pronoun “those"

Yes Carlo? in a sentence. “Those houses up there
are huge.”

Very good Carlo!

In example given by Carlo, he used “those"
because if follows by a plural, and that things Yes teacher!
that referring to are far away from the speaker.
Is that clear?
(Nina raising her hand)
 Other example?
Using demonstrative pronoun “this" in
Yes Nina? a sentence.
“This is my sister.”

Very good Nina! In this sentence, Nina used ‘this’

to introduce a person. The person that referring
in the sentence is the in the singular form. Yes teacher!
Did you understand ?

For further understanding, I have here a chart

where you can understand demonstrative
pronoun.
Close to the Farther away
speaker from the
speaker
Singular this that
Plural these Those
This is very simple to understand for those who Yes teacher!
are starting to familiarize demonstrative. Right?

Where can demonstratives be positioned in an

English sentence?
If ‘this, that, these, those' used in conjunction
with a noun, they adopt the role of determiner (
which means they accompany the noun and
always appear together with it). If this is the case
the noun is positioned either directly after or (Sean is raising his hand)
after a subsequent adjective: In that example, the noun ‘woman'
For example: comes directly after the pronoun
• “I have never seen that woman.” ‘that'.
What have you noticed?
Yes Sean?
You’re welcome teacher!
Very good Sean! You may now take your
seat.

Likewise, ‘this, that, these, and those ‘may

also occur alone, which means without a
noun. Then antecedent may be located in
different part of the sentence, or may not
be present in the sentence at all. In case
of such absence, the pronoun always
points to something that is known to all
persons that are involved in the
communication.
For example:
• “This is absolute nonsense!”
(This utterancr js about matter that
has been mentioned before.
 Otherwise, the statement would
not be cleat and ambiguous.)
Remember class, without a noun an
antecedent , pronouns always have to
point to something known.
In a sentence, pronouns can adopt the
functions as a subject and alson an
object. Always keep the English word
order “Subject-Verb-Object" in mind:
Demonstrative Subject Verb Object Adverbial(place,
pronouns time,
manner,etc.)
… without a a lot of
noun(stand money.
That costs
alone)
I have
bought these Today.
…with a noun This
(as a lady needs Some
determiner) help.
Monica liked those Very much
flowers
As you seen the chart. It is now easy to Yes teacher!
understand the role of demonstrative
pronoun in a sentence. Right?

(Venus is raising her hand)

Okay! Let’s proceed. How are

demonstrative pronouns used? Well teacher, in my opinion,
demonstrative pronouns usually used
to as a helpful words to directly
Yes Venus? express time and place in the
sentence.

Very good Venus! Demonstrative

pronouns ca be used differently I
English, as they may point to various
aspects. As a result, the main
distinction is made between place
and time.
If the pronoun refers to something in
close proximity, either ‘this' or these is
adequate.
For example:
• “This char is very comfortable.”
(In this situation , the speaker can
touch the chair.)
• “Would you like to try one of these
cookies?”
(The cookies are located within
reach of the questioner.)
(Llancy is raising his hand)
Now, it’s your turn give example
using the word ‘this or these”. Anyone? Using the demonstrative pronoun
‘this'. “This town offers a lot of
Yes Llancy?
culture.”

Very good! Thank you Llancy!

You’re welcome teacher!

On the contrary, ‘that' and ‘those'

required if something is beyond the
personal reach.
For example:
• “Look, I went to that school when I was
young.”
(The school can be seen from the
distance.)
• “Those little dogs were so sweet.”
(The dogs are clearly not at the
same place as the speaker
anymore.)

Now, let’s proceed demonstrative

pronouns referring to time.
‘This' and ‘these’ mainly refer to
periods of time that have not ended
yet, in other words, in the present.
They also point actions that are
happening now in which the speaker
involved.
For example:
• “This week has been horrible!”
(The week has not ended yet.) (Lester is raising his hand)
Now, it’s your turn to give example “This show is simply amazing.” In this
using the word ‘this or these' referring sentence, the speaker is watching the
to time in a sentence. Anyone? show right now.

Very well said Lester! You may now

take you seat.
Now let’s proceed… in contrast, ‘that'
and those are very often used to
 indicate past time. They can also
designate fished actions or processes.
For example:
• “I will never forget that week.”
(This comment is about an
experience in the past.)
Another example …
• “We really enjoyed those four days in
London.”
(The speaker are no longer in London; the
visit there was over.)

This time, give example using (Andrea is raising her hand)

demonstrative pronouns ‘that ‘ and ‘those'
in referring to time.
Yes Andrea? “That performance wasn’t very
interesting. “ (In this case the show,
which means the process is already
over.)

Very good Andrea! Now, we’re discussing

about demonstrative pronoun. I hope you
learned a lot from our discussion today.
