5. Part 1: What are Adjectives?
 Adjectives are words that describe or gives qualities to the noun or
a pronoun in the sentence. For example: the house is red. The word
red is an adjective in this sentence.
 They are always near the noun or pronoun they are describing.
 Adjectives can be of many types, like:
 Possessive adjectives: My pencil is different than yours.
 Demonstrative adjectives: This is a pencil
 Descriptive adjectives: We all live the yellow submarine.
 Quantitative adjectives: Some houses near my house were demolished.
 Interrogative adjectives: Which skateboards are yours?
 Numeric: I have two pair of shoes.

6. Part 2: What are Demonstrative
Adjectives?
 Demonstrative adjectives are adjectives that tell us where an
object is located and how many objects there are.
 Demonstrative adjectives are:
 This.
 That.
 These.
 Those.

7. Part 3: How to use Demonstrative
Adjectives

that, these, those.
