Answer 1

A demonstrative adjective, like this or that, helps indicate a noun or pronoun in a sentence. It’s especially helpful when you want to make it clear which person or thing you would like to talk about, whether it’s near or far, singular or plural.

When you use a demonstrative adjective, the reader will know you want to talk about this cat on the couch, not that one on the floor. Readers will also know you’d like to wear this hat with the plaid, not that one with the brim.

You can even use a demonstrative adjective to emphasize which object you’re talking about. For example: That pie was delicious
