Differentiate between demonstrative pronoun and demonstrative adjective with two examples
Answers
Explanation:
Demonstrative pronouns and demonstrative adjectives both have the same terms:
this, that, these, those
this – refers to singular nouns which are nearby
that – refers to singular nouns which are further away
these – refers to plural nouns which are nearby
those – refers to plural nouns which are further away
nearby and further away (or not nearby) can depend on the context it’s used in:
nearby – can mean within arms length, within sight, the nearest of several
further away – can mean further than arm’s reach, out of sight, furthest of several
Although the terms are the same, the uses differ between demonstrative adjectives and demonstrative pronouns
Demonstrative adjectives are used together with the noun and qualify the noun
demonstrative adjective + noun
This soup is good.
That car is old.
These chairs are antique.
Those children are clever.
Demonstrative pronouns are not used with the noun but stand in place of the noun.
demonstrative adjective + noun → demonstrative pronoun
This soup is good → This is good.
That car is old. → That is old.
These chairs are antiques. → These are antiques.
Those children are clever. → Those are clever.
Notice there are no nouns used with the demonstrative pronouns.
