Best Answer

The demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) are used to indicate near or far in place or time.

A demonstrative pronoun takes the place of a noun indicated.

Examples:

These are mom's favorite flowers. (the speaker is indicating by pointing or gesturing in some way)

No, I don't care for that. (someone has indicated something to the speaker)

This is the building where I work.

We can look for those when we go to the mall.

Note: When the words this, that, these, and those are used before a noun, they are adjectives.

Examples:

These flowers are mom's favorite.

No, I don't care for that flavor.
