Demonstrative pronouns


Demonstrative pronouns

 
THIS is the demonstrative pronoun we use with nouns in singular. THESE is the plural form of  this“, therefore, we use it with nouns in plural.
       e.g.  This is my book.
              Are these books yours?
THAT- is used with nouns in singular;
THOSE (plural form of “that“) is used with nouns in plural.
        e.g.   That  book is not mine.
                Those  books are John's.

 

Practicing:

4)    Those (garden) are nice.

5)    That (flower) is beautiful.
