The name for these pronouns tells us their uses; they are used when we want to demonstrate or point out which one(s) we are talking about.
Here they are:
This, That-singular
These, Those-plural
Example
(i) This is my book, and that is yours.
Note: These same words may be used as demonstrative adjectives where the person or thing is given as a noun.
(ii) This book is mine and that book is yours.
Supply a suitable demonstrative pronoun or demonstrative adjective to fill the blanks in the following sentences:
- I don't like ........ shoes. I prefer ...... in the window.
- ...... is Paul's younger brother.
- ...... is my father's house over there.
- I don't like ......: it's not what i expect of you.

- these/those shoes and those/these in the window.
- This /That.

- these/those are my uncle's and that/this is my aunt's.
