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.
