Read each section's instructions carefully and answer all questions. This worksheet will help you practice identifying and using demonstrative pronouns.
Demonstrative pronouns are words that point to specific things. They can be singular (this, that) or plural (these, those). They replace nouns and indicate proximity (near or far).
Examples:
• This is my favorite book. (singular, near)
• That is a beautiful painting. (singular, far)
• These are delicious cookies. (plural, near)
• Those were the good old days. (plural, far)
