What is a Demonstrative noun?

A demonstrative noun is a noun that points out a specific person, place, or thing. It's like using your finger to point and say, "That one!"

Here's how it works:

* Demonstrative pronouns are the words we use to *point out* the noun:

* This (singular, near)

* That (singular, far)

* These (plural, near)

* Those (plural, far)

* The noun is the specific person, place, or thing being pointed out.

Examples:

* This book is mine.

* That car is fast.

* These flowers smell lovely.

* Those cookies are delicious.

Key points to remember:

* Demonstrative nouns always include a demonstrative pronoun.

* They are used to identify something specific within a given context.

* They can be singular or plural, depending on the noun they modify.

Here are some more examples:

* This house is my new home.

* That dog is very friendly.

* These shoes are too small for me.

* Those mountains are breathtaking.

Remember, a demonstrative noun is simply a way to point out and identify something specific within a sentence.
