Demonstrative pronouns enable the speaker to distinguish between two things based on distance. The nearer object is referred to as this or these, while the farther object is called that or those.Examples: My brother and I share a room; This is my bed and that is his. These are my siblings and those are my friends.

Demostrative pronouns can replace a subject or an object. Examples: This is what I have to read. I can read this if you want. To talk about people.Example: This is David/That is David.
