Demonstrative Pronouns

[Fırat]

A demonstrative pronoun represents a thing or things:

* near in distance or time (this, these)
* far in distance or time (that, those)

Here are some examples with demonstrative pronouns, followed by an illustration:

* This tastes good.
* Have you seen this?
* These are bad times.
* Do you like these?

* That is beautiful.
* Look at that!
* Those were the days!
* Can you see those?

* This is heavier than that.
* These are bigger than those.

NOTE:

Normally we use demonstrative pronouns for things only. But we can use them for people when the person is identified. Look at these examples:

* This is Josef speaking. Is that Mary?
* That sounds like John.
