Hi,

Can anyone please explain to the topic named "Demonstrative Pronouns"?

I am referring the Manhattan GMAT book but it confuses my understanding of the topic.

Regards.

Hi nitinmenon89,

Demonstrative pronouns are the pronouns THIS, THAT, THESE and THOSE.

As a rule, a demonstrative pronouns replace noun-phrases.

eg.
The work the that you're doing looks difficult.
THAT looks difficult.

While the broader subject of pronouns is tested in GMAT SCs (at least a couple of times), demonstrative pronouns are not too common.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

What do you exactly mean by "broader subjects of pronoun"?.. Can you please list them?

It would be great if you can help me understand it.

Thanks!

Hi Nitin,

The MGMAT SC book should walk you through the major grammar rules on the GMAT. The GMAT tests a handful of major grammar rules, some minor ones and a bunch of idiom and usage rules. As a category, pronoun rules tend to focus on pronoun-noun agreement and pronoun ambiguity. As a rarer issue, sometimes the issue of redundancy is tested.

If you get the feeling that your current resources aren't properly teaching you the material, then you might need to invest in some additional resources.

A demonstrative pronoun points to and identifies a noun or a pronoun. Demonstrative pronouns this and these refer to things that are nearby either in space or in time, while Demonstrative pronouns that and those refer to things that are farther away in space or time. Examples:

This must not continue.
Those were the days when James enjoyed the most.

If you have a specific question about Demonstrative pronouns, please let us know.

p.s. Our book SC Nirvana discusses Demonstrative pronouns, their application and examples in significant detail. If you can PM you email, I can send you the corresponding section.
