Here's why:
* Demonstrative pronouns point to something specific, often by indicating its position relative to the speaker. They are used to identify and indicate location.
Examples:
* This book is mine. (The book is close to the speaker)
* That car is fast. (The car is farther away from the speaker)
* These shoes are new. (Multiple items close to the speaker)
* Those flowers are beautiful. (Multiple items farther away from the speaker)
