Study Notes
Demonstrative Adjectives vs Demonstrative Pronouns
- Demonstrative adjectives describe the noun they precede, indicating which one, and typically answer the questions "which one?" or "what kind?"
- Demonstrative pronouns, on the other hand, replace the noun entirely, also indicating which one, and typically answer the questions "which one?" or "what?"
Key Differences
- Demonstrative adjectives always come before a noun, whereas demonstrative pronouns stand alone as a noun replacement.
- Examples of demonstrative adjectives: "this book", "that car", "these shoes", "those keys".
- Examples of demonstrative pronouns: "this", "that", "these", "those" used as standalone pronouns, not preceding a noun.
