Hello welcome to this tutorial.
Today we are going to talk about demonstrate it's this that these and those let's get started
demonstrators are words that show which person or thing is being referred to now.
Demonstrators show where an object event or person is in relation to the speaker.
Note that they can refer to a physical or psychological closeness or distance.
Now let's have a look at the example.
Over here this is Hugh.
And that is Kevin.
Now the demonstration.
This is referring to where Hugh is who is physically close and the demonstrator that is referring to
where Kevin is who is physically distant.
Now when what we are referring to is near the speaker we use the ad for here and when it's far from
the speaker we use their and when the noun is singular and uncountable we use this for when it's near
the speaker.
And that for when it's far from the speaker for when the noun is plural and countable we use these for
when it's near the speaker.
And those when it's far from the speaker
remember that demonstrators can be placed before the noun or the adjective that modifies the noun let's
have a look at the examples we know that old man stole my purse to demonstrate that modifies the adjective
old which modifies the noun man these oranges are delicious these modifies oranges
also note that demonstrators can appear before a number by itself when the noun is understood from context.
Have a look at the sentence over here.
I'll take this one please.
I'll take this watermelon please.
Now these sentences are both the same in the sentence.
We have watermelon which is understood from context.
So instead of saying I'll take this watermelon please we can say I'll take this one she's one referring
to watermelon.
Note that demonstrate lives can be used by themselves when the noun they modify is understood from context.
Have a look at these sentences below.
Those are yours.
Put them back those shoes aren't yours put them back.
Shoes.
In this sentence is understood from context.
And so we can use to demonstrate it by itself as in the example over here.
Those aren't yours.
Put them back.
Now when talking about events the near demonstrators are often used to refer to the present while the
far demonstrators often refer to the past.
Have a look.
The sentences below.
This situation is quite unstable to demonstrate if this is referring to a present event.
Situation that event made me realize how important my family is to me.
In the sentence to demonstrate.
That is referring to a past event that made me realize how important my family is to me.
