Examples of Demonstrative Pronouns
Hey Novakid teachers! I hope you're doing well!

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!
