Examples of Demonstrative Pronouns


My son is working on his English assignment about demonstrative pronouns, and he’s really into it—but he’s also turning it into a game.
He keeps pointing at random objects and making up funny sentences like, "This is my spaceship!" while holding a spoon. 😂 I love his creativity, but I want to make sure he’s using demonstrative pronouns correctly in a structured way.
Could you check this exercise and let us know if we’re on the right track?
"Complete the sentences with this, that, these, or those:
___ is my favorite book on the shelf.
Look at ___ stars in the sky!"
Thanks a lot!

That’s fantastic! I love how he’s turning learning into a fun game!
Here are the correct answers:
"This is my favorite book on the shelf." (Use "this" for a singular thing that is close.)
"Look at those stars in the sky!" (Use "those" for plural things that are far away.)
Quick Rule for Demonstrative Pronouns:
- This (singular, close) → This apple is tasty.
- That (singular, far) → That mountain is huge.
- These (plural, close) → These cookies smell great!
- Those (plural, far) → Those birds are flying high.
Let me know if he wants more practice—I’d love to play along with his spaceship adventure!
