Tip 6: Demonstrative Pronouns

Demonstrative pronouns are words - "this, that, these, those". P1 kids are expected to know how to use each of the words correctly.

Jerrie took quite a few months to get the meanings of these four words engrained in her memory. When tested, she can now confidently explain them this way:

"this" is used to refer to "one item/person" and it is "right here"
"that" is also used to refer to "one item/person" and it is "over there"

"these" is used to refer to "more than one item/person" and it is "right here"
"those" is also used to refer to "more than one item/person" and it is "over there"
