Introduction

Demonstrative determiners are used to specify which items you are talking about. The demonstrative determiner will be the first or second word in the noun phrase.

Examples of demonstrative determiners-

·         This/these/that - This refers to something nearby, such as these flowers and this chair. It can also refer to something further away, like those mountains over there.

·         That - That refers to something further away, such as those mountains over there or I want some ice cream!

The words "this" and "these" refer to things that are nearby either in space or time, while "that" and "those" refer to things that are farther away in space or time. For example:

1. She liked this book

2. These are the flowers that he gave me.

3. I want all these.

A demonstrative determiner is a word or phrase that indicates which one of several objects in a sentence you're talking about. For example, if I were to say, "This apple is red," it would be clear to you that I am referring to the apple on my left—and not some other apple in front of me.

Conclusion

The demonstrative determiners are the most common type of determiners in English. They refer to specific things, such as objects and people.
