Read each instruction carefully and complete the exercises. This worksheet will help you practice identifying and using demonstrative adjectives and pronouns.
Demonstratives are words that point out specific people, places, or things. They can function as either demonstrative adjectives (modifying a noun) or demonstrative pronouns (standing in for a noun). The four main demonstratives are: this, that, these, and those.
This/These refer to things close by.
That/Those refer to things farther away.
This and that are singular, while these and those are plural.
Circle the demonstrative in each sentence.
1. book on the table is mine.
2. Do you see birds flying south?
3. is my favorite song.
4. Please hand me pencil.
