Answer 2

The sentences given below have some errors, we need to correct them by using the appropriate demonstrative pronouns:

This are cherry tomatoes.

• These are cherry tomatoes.
• This does not agree with the plural object tomatoes.

Those is Ronnie's new tennis racquet.

• This is Ronnie's new tennis racquet.
• Those do not agree with the singular object racquet.

That books belong to Neena.

• Those books belong to Neena.
• That does not agree with the plural object books

These boy is always late.

• This boy is always late.
• These do not agree with the singular subject boy.

That are the buses that need repair.

• Those are the buses that need repair.
• That does not agree with the plural subject buses.

That action figures belong to me.

• That does not agree with the plural object figures.

We use the Singular Form of a noun to talk about one person.

We use the Plural Form of noun to talk about more than one person or things.

A Pronoun is a word that we can use instead of a noun.

A Demonstrative Pronoun points to the noun which refers to this, that, these and those.

In the plural form, we use these instead of this and those instead of that.
