Here's why:
* Demonstrative pronouns point to specific things or people. They indicate the location or proximity of the object relative to the speaker.
* Examples:
* This (close to the speaker)
* That (further from the speaker)
* These (plural, close to the speaker)
* Those (plural, further from the speaker)
Example:
* "This chair is comfortable." (The speaker is close to the chair.)
* "That car is fast." (The speaker is further away from the car.)
