Demonstrative pronouns are words used to point toward specific people, objects, or ideas without directly naming them.
Most common ones are this, that, these, and those. They help the speaker or writer indicate whether something is near or far, and whether it is singular or plural. For example, “This is my bag” or “Those are your shoes.” They are widely used in daily communication to bring clarity and emphasis.
