$\sf\huge\underline\green{Explaination:-}$

The words in the sentences are demonstrative adjective or demonstrative pronoun. I will explain it by giving definition and it's example. As you know demonstrative means indicating things and person. But how can you extinguish between demonstrative adjective and demonstrative pronoun. We can extinguish on the basis of its properties.

$\sf\large\underline\red{Demonstrative\: adjective:-}$

A demonstrative adjective is the word that is used to indicate person or things coming in the sentences. The adjective word always follows noun in the given sentence.

For example This books are interesting. Here the word (this) is a demonstrative adjective because the word (this) is following noun as you can see above the sentence.

$\sf\large\underline\red{Demonstrative\: pronoun:-}$

A demonstrative pronoun is the word that is used to indicate person or things in the sentences. The pronoun words are independent on its own. It never never follow noun. For example This is very nice question. Here the word (this) is demonstrative pronoun because the word (this) is independent and not following of noun.
