Name the pronouns in the following sentences that point out or call
attention to anything:—
1. This is a book, and that is a roll of paper.
2. These are sheep, and those are goats.
Pronouns which point out or call attention to the objects for which they
stand, are called =demonstrative pronouns=.
The demonstrative pronouns are _this_, and _that_ with their plurals
_these_, and _those_.
_This_ and _these_ are used to refer to something nearer; _that_ and
_those_ to something farther off. _You_ is sometimes a demonstrative
pronoun; as, _You_ are the winner. The personal pronoun of the third
person is sometimes classed as a demonstrative pronoun, because it is
said to point out or call attention to the object for which it stands.
It is sometimes demonstrative, and sometimes personal in its use.
_Compare_: I am sure _he_ did it. I saw your brother and _he_ is going
to come to-morrow.
