Demonstratives

Aggettivi e pronomi dimostrativi


Ci sono 4 dimostrativi:   This   That   These   Those.

I dimostrativi sono usati per stabilire la distanza di ciò di cui si parla da chi sta parlando (la distanza può essere fisica o psicologica).

Questi 4 dimostrativi possono essere usati come pronomi o aggettivi. Quando sono usati come aggettivi precedono il sostantivo a cui si riferiscono.

 la differenza nell'uso dei 4 sta :

• nella distanza (vicino o lontano) da chi sta parlando e 
• nel numero, singolare o plurale.

• "This" è usato per parlare di un sostantivo singolare che si trova vicino a chi sta parlando.

• "That"  è usato per parlare di un sostantivo singolare che si trova lontano da chi sta parlando.

• "These" è usato per parlare di sostantivi plurali che si trovano vicino a chi sta parlando o che sono di proprietà di qualcun'altro.

• "Those" è usato per parlare di sostantivi plurali che si trovano lontano da chi sta parlando o che sono di proprietà di qualcun'altro.
