Task: Circle the correct Demonstrative Adjective
The task requires identifying and circling the correct
demonstrative adjectives in each sentence. Demonstrative adjectives are words like "this," "that," "these," and "those" that indicate which specific noun(s) we are referring to.
#### Key Points:
-
Singular demonstrative adjectives:
- "This" (nearby, singular)
- "That" (farther away, singular)
-
Plural demonstrative adjectives:
- "These" (nearby, plural)
- "Those" (farther away, plural)
Now, let's analyze each sentence and determine the correct demonstrative adjective:
---
Sentence 1:
> I have been to
these/those buildings at the other side of the man.
- The buildings are located
at the other side of the man, which implies they are farther away.
- Correct choice:
Those

Sentence 2:
>
This/That is my pet dog, Kutts.
- The dog is being referred to as "my pet dog," suggesting it is nearby.
- Correct choice:
This

Sentence 3:
>
These/Those cookies are made of chocolate.
- The context does not specify whether the cookies are near or far, but since the sentence is general and likely addressing something close by, "these" is more appropriate.
- Correct choice:
