Demonstrative Pronouns: this, that, these, those

In English we have two demonstrative pronouns, which both have plural versions. We use one to refer to objects which are in close proximity and the other to refer to objects which are at a certain distance.
We use demonstrative pronouns to clarify which object, out of a group of similar objects, the speaker is referring to. For example, imagine Timmy is at the zoo with his family. At the orangutan exhibit, he attempts to point out which of the primates he finds to be the coolest. In this moment, he needs to use a demonstrative pronoun.
The two English language demonstrative pronouns are:
This (singular) and These (plural) ⇒ for objects in close proximity,
That (singular) and Those (plural) ⇒ for objects which are at a distance
To continue the example with Timmy and the orangutans, let’s imagine Timmy wants to point out the orangutan which is right next to the glass where all the zoo visitors are standing. Timmy can say, This orangutan is the coolest out of all of them.
Now, let’s imagine that Timmy’s favorite orangutan is very antisocial and is sitting towards the very back of the exhibit, as far away from the glass as possible. Timmy might say, Look Mom! That orangutan all the way in the back is definitely the coolest out of all the orangutans.
Let’s imagine that Timmy’s friend, Bobby, is at the same zoo at the aviary exhibit. He wants to point out to his family which is his favorite group of birds. Near Bobby and his family is a group of cockatiels; farther away is a group of flamencos. Let’s imagine that Bobby’s parents have asked him to point out which type of bird is smaller than the other. Bobby should say, These birds are smaller than those birds. These would refer to the cockatiels, since they are closer, while those would refer to the flamencos, since they are farther away and Bobby will have answered his parents’ question correctly.

When this was 9 years ago, it still helped me with my exam thank you very much for this.

[@tracyteaches]

When this, that, these or those appear before a noun, they become adjectives. They are only pronouns when they take the place of a noun. For example: This is a new computer. That is an old computer. These are little dogs. Those are big dogs.

So correct me if im wrong. This, these are used when the object is near while that, those when it's far. Right guys?

[@sanjosekelvinray3103]

yes

[@komalkatariya8526]

It's a short and crisp video but the examples are not of demonstrative pronouns but adjectives.
Pronoun would be - This is a dog. That is a chair, These are books. Those are socks.
Adjective - This dog is small. Those dogs are big.
These are adjectives as they are followed by nouns.
Hope it helps.

A great video but please correct or explain the following: this that these those ARE pronouns, DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS.But when they modify another noun (just like thy're used in the examples , THIS COMPUTER is new, demonstratives become adjectives, DEMONSTRATIVE ADJECTIVES .Thanks for your videos, illustrations are the best!

[@ishtardhiyaa7918]

Thank very much .

[@nithinsasikumar2965]

I have a doubt, in this video, you are giving examples of demonstrative adjectives. For demonstrative pronouns, nouns/pronouns will not come just after demonstratives, there must be a verb or helping verb, like....This orangutan is the coolest out of all of them..this must be like...This is the coolest orangutan out of all of them. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@christineanncraig3901]

These are examples of demonstrative adjectives, not demonstrative pronouns. Demonstrative pronouns do NOT have a noun after it that it modifies. It takes the place of those nouns, instead. Example: THIS is old. THAT is new.

[@frankysinaga1470]

Some of your examples are demonstrative adjectives not demonstrative pronouns.
