What is a "demonstrative determiner"?

A demonstrative determiner is a word used to indicate or point to specific nouns, showing their relative location or proximity to the speaker. The main demonstrative determiners in English are "this," "that," "these," and "those." For example, in the phrase "this book," the determiner "this" specifies a particular book that is near the speaker, while in "those cars," "those" refers to cars that are farther away. Demonstrative determiners help clarify which nouns are being discussed, making communication more precise by indicating whether the nouns are singular or plural and their distance from the speaker.
