Abstract
Demonstrative adjectives are used to point out specific nouns or pronouns. They include words like “this,” “that,” “these,” and “those.” For example, “This book is my favorite.” In this sentence, “this” is a demonstrative adjective because it is pointing out the specific book.
Demonstrative adjectives can also be used to indicate distance. For example, “This book is over there”. In this sentence, “this” indicates that the book is close by, and “over there” indicates that the book is further away. They can also express preference. For example, you could say, “This book is better than that one.” In this sentence, “better” is a demonstrative adjective.
