00:00.900 --> 00:04.500
Hello welcome to this tutorial.

00:04.500 --> 00:16.260
Today we are going to talk about demonstrate it's this that these and those let's get started

00:18.740 --> 00:26.990
demonstrators are words that show which person or thing is being referred to now.

00:27.020 --> 00:36.800
Demonstrators show where an object event or person is in relation to the speaker.

00:36.800 --> 00:44.180
Note that they can refer to a physical or psychological closeness or distance.

00:45.020 --> 00:47.240
Now let's have a look at the example.

00:47.340 --> 00:50.350
Over here this is Hugh.

00:50.480 --> 00:53.090
And that is Kevin.

00:53.090 --> 00:54.580
Now the demonstration.

00:54.590 --> 01:06.570
This is referring to where Hugh is who is physically close and the demonstrator that is referring to

01:06.570 --> 01:13.350
where Kevin is who is physically distant.

01:13.680 --> 01:24.840
Now when what we are referring to is near the speaker we use the ad for here and when it's far from

01:24.840 --> 01:38.750
the speaker we use their and when the noun is singular and uncountable we use this for when it's near

01:38.750 --> 01:40.310
the speaker.

01:40.310 --> 01:53.330
And that for when it's far from the speaker for when the noun is plural and countable we use these for

01:53.330 --> 01:55.740
when it's near the speaker.

01:56.030 --> 02:00.630
And those when it's far from the speaker

02:04.270 --> 02:16.110
remember that demonstrators can be placed before the noun or the adjective that modifies the noun let's

02:16.110 --> 02:27.940
have a look at the examples we know that old man stole my purse to demonstrate that modifies the adjective

02:28.210 --> 02:43.010
old which modifies the noun man these oranges are delicious these modifies oranges

02:45.750 --> 02:57.590
also note that demonstrators can appear before a number by itself when the noun is understood from context.

02:57.600 --> 03:00.700
Have a look at the sentence over here.

03:02.390 --> 03:04.530
I'll take this one please.

03:04.580 --> 03:07.430
I'll take this watermelon please.

03:07.430 --> 03:14.290
Now these sentences are both the same in the sentence.

03:14.290 --> 03:20.050
We have watermelon which is understood from context.

03:20.200 --> 03:31.320
So instead of saying I'll take this watermelon please we can say I'll take this one she's one referring

03:31.320 --> 03:35.580
to watermelon.

03:35.650 --> 03:44.470
Note that demonstrate lives can be used by themselves when the noun they modify is understood from context.

03:44.470 --> 03:47.480
Have a look at these sentences below.

03:47.800 --> 03:50.220
Those are yours.

03:50.230 --> 03:59.570
Put them back those shoes aren't yours put them back.

03:59.820 --> 04:00.940
Shoes.

04:01.100 --> 04:05.750
In this sentence is understood from context.

04:05.750 --> 04:13.130
And so we can use to demonstrate it by itself as in the example over here.

04:13.130 --> 04:15.530
Those aren't yours.

04:15.560 --> 04:16.450
Put them back.

04:18.130 --> 04:26.560
Now when talking about events the near demonstrators are often used to refer to the present while the

04:26.560 --> 04:32.170
far demonstrators often refer to the past.

04:32.170 --> 04:32.860
Have a look.

04:32.860 --> 04:35.720
The sentences below.

04:35.900 --> 04:46.400
This situation is quite unstable to demonstrate if this is referring to a present event.

04:47.460 --> 04:56.860
Situation that event made me realize how important my family is to me.

04:58.090 --> 05:00.260
In the sentence to demonstrate.

05:00.340 --> 05:09.990
That is referring to a past event that made me realize how important my family is to me.
