The pronouns 'this, that, these, and those' are demonstrative pronouns; words that take the place of a noun indicating near or far in place or time.

Example uses:

Would you like some of this?

That is a very good idea.

These are mother's favorite flowers.

I like those but they're very expensive.

Note: The demonstrative pronouns are adjectives when placed before a noun to describe that noun.

Example: I like those shoes but they're very expensive.
