DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS in English
A demonstrative pronoun points to a specific thing or things to indicate whether they are close or far, in space and/or time. Like possessive pronouns, demonstrative pronouns stand alone and do not have to precede a noun.
E.g.
• Jane stopped eating rice for dinner. This has helped her lose weight quickly.
• That was the last time I saw my colleague Matthew.
