The demonstrative pronouns take the place of a noun indicating near or far. When placed just before a noun, they act as adjectives. The demonstrative pronouns are: this, these (near); that, those (far). Examples as adjectives:
Describing a pronoun: This one is my favorite. That one is mom's favorite.
Describing a noun: These books are on the reading list. Those books are optional.
