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.
