? Introduction
\n
In English, we use special words called demonstratives to point to people, objects, or things. These words tell us where something is (near or far) and how many (one or more). Look at these examples: “This book is mine” (the book is near me) vs “That book is yours” (the book is far from me).

? 1. The Four Demonstratives
\n\n
| Singular (واحد) | Plural (جمع) | |
|---|---|---|
| Near (قريب) | This — هذا/هذه | These — هؤلاء/هذه |
| Far (بعيد) | That — ذلك/تلك | Those — أولئك/تلك |
\n\n
? Examples:
\n
- \n
- This is my pen. (القلم قريب مني)
- That is your bag. (الحقيبة بعيدة عني)
- These are my books. (الكتب قريبة — جمع)
- Those are your pencils. (الأقلام بعيدة — جمع)

? 2. Using Demonstratives with Nouns
\n
When a demonstrative comes before a noun, it gives information about the noun:
\n\n
| Demonstrative | + Noun | Example |
|---|---|---|
| This | + singular noun | This chair |
| That | + singular noun | That door |
| These | + plural noun | These chairs |
| Those | + plural noun | Those doors |
\n\n
? Quick Tip:

Singular → use is (This is… / That is…)
\nPlural → use are (These are… / Those are…)
