A demonstrative adjective modifies a noun; therefore it will be used in the sentence with the noun it modifies. (e.g., This car is beautiful.)

A demonstrative pronoun takes the place of a noun; therefore it will be used in the sentence without the noun it modifies. The noun to which it refers would have been mentioned previously. (e.g., This is a car.)
