4. Pronouns: What is a pronoun…? A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. Some examples are: I You He/She/It They We 4

5. Demonstrative Pronouns: Demonstrative pronouns are pronouns that take the place of a noun SO THAT you don’t have to repeat the noun. 1. What is this ? 2. Who are they ? 3. Lori gives us homework. I hate that ! 5

8. Demonstrative Pronouns: This: Refers to a person, place, animal or thing that is closer in time and distance. Examples: This is my mom. This is my dog. This is my favourite restaurant. This is the book I was looking for. 8

9. Demonstrative Pronouns: That: Refers to a person, place, animal or thing that is further away in time and distance. Examples: That is my student. That is the dog that chases bikes That is the shop that sells used books. 9

10. Demonstrative Pronouns: These: Refers to a number of people, places, animals or things that are closer in time and distance. Examples: These are the children that missed the bus. These are the cats that we rescued. These are too expensive. 10

11. Demonstrative Pronouns: Those: Refers to a number of people, places, animals or things that are further away in time and distance. Examples: Those are the women who have been waiting. Those belong to my neighbour . There are so many birds here, but those are my favourite . 11

12. Demonstrative Pronouns: This, that, these , and those are used to instead of a noun that has already been mentioned or implied, helping make communication faster and easier. Example: See the red jacket? I want that . What the speaker means is: I want the red jacket. “ That” takes the place of “ the red jacket .” 12

13. Demonstrative Pronouns: To use a demonstrative pronoun, the speaker must make it clear what they are talking about, otherwise, demonstrative pronouns are confusing. The thing a pronoun represents is called the antecedent ; in the previous example, the antecedent is the red jacket . Example: See the red jacket? I want that . What the speaker means is: I want the red jacket . 13

14. Demonstrative Pronoun vs. Demonstrative Determiners: Demonstrative pronouns are different from demonstrative determiners . The words are the same : (this, that, those, these), but how we use them is different . Have a look: 14

15. Demonstrative Pronouns vs. Demonstrative Determiners: Demonstrative pronouns are different from demonstrative determiners . Demonstrative determiners directly modify (describe) a noun and are placed in front of it in the sentence, like this: Those cupcakes are mine. That cookie is also mine. 15

16. Demonstrative Pronouns – Other Uses 1. To introduce people: Examples: This is Irina. These are my friends, Michael and Jan. OR This is Michael and this is Jan . 16

17. Demonstrative Pronouns – Other Uses 2. To begin a conversation on the phone: Examples: Hello! This is Jon Smith. OR 3. To begin a text message to someone who doesn’t know us. 17

18. Demonstrative Pronouns – Other Uses 4. Use that to reply to something someone has said: Examples: A: “Do you want to see a movie? B: “Yes, that ’s a good idea.” A: “I've got a new job.” B: “ That 's great.” A: “I'm very tired.” B: “Why is that ?” 18

19. Demonstrative Pronouns – Other Uses Remember: demonstrative pronouns always identify nouns, whether those nouns are named specifically or not. For example: “I can’t believe this .” We have no idea what “this” is, but it’s something the writer cannot believe. It exists, even though we don’t know what it is. 19

20. Demonstrative Pronouns - review Use this and these to talk about things near to us (either in time or distance). Examples: This is a nice cup of tea. Whose shoes are these ? 20

21. Demonstrative Pronouns - review 2. Use that and those to talk about things not near to us (either in time or distance). We might point, or gesture towards whatever it is we are talking about. Examples: That is Rachel’s house. Those are expensive shoes. That was a great party. 21
