Un pronume demonstrativ reprezintă un obiect sau obiecte:

  • aproape ca distanţă şi timp (this, these)
  • departe ca distanţă şi timp (that, those)
aproape departe singular this that plural these those


Câteva exemple:

  • Have you seen this?
  • Do you like that?
  • These are beautiful.
  • Can you see those?
  • This is heavier than that.
  • These are bigger than those.

Normal, pronumele demonstrative se folosesc cu obiecte. Dar uneori putem folosi pronumele pentru a identifica persoana:

  • This is Jack speaking. Is that Kate?
  • That sounds like Charles.
