Demonstrative adjectives are used to specify what is referred to, whether it is singular or plural, and to give more information about its proximity to the speaker. Pronouns have demonstratives too. Although demonstrative adjectives have the same forms as demonstrative pronouns, they can still be identified.
Demonstrative Adjectives are the following:
examples:
"This book is informative."
"Those flowers are beautiful."
Both sentences contain two adjectives "this" and "informative" and "those" and "beautiful". "This" and "those" are demonstrative adjectives and not demonstrative pronouns because they both modify their nouns "book" and "flowers". It can be identified if this, these, that, and those are demonstrative adjectives if they are put before the nouns they modify/describe just like the examples above, unlike pronouns which are only used to substitute their antecedents.
