Is the word these a noun pronoun or adjective?

"These" is a demonstrative pronoun.

Here's why:

* Pronoun: It replaces a noun (e.g., "These cookies are delicious" - "these" replaces the noun "cookies").

* Demonstrative: It points out specific things (e.g., "These are my favorite shoes" - "these" specifies which shoes are being referred to).
