Demonstrative Pronouns Worksheet - Free Printable

Task: Complete each sentence with the correct demonstrative pronoun.

Demonstrative pronouns are words that point to specific nouns and help clarify which noun is being referred to. The common demonstrative pronouns are:
- Singular: this, that
- Plural: these, those

Let's solve each sentence step by step:

---

#### 1. I want all of ______ chocolate chip cookies!
- This sentence refers to multiple cookies (plural), so we need a plural demonstrative pronoun.
- Answer: these

#### 2. Well, maybe just one. I’ll take ______ one over there.
- This sentence refers to a single cookie located at a distance ("over there"), so we need a singular demonstrative pronoun for something far away.
- Answer: that

#### 3. It was delicious, maybe I’ll take ______ one, too.
- This sentence refers to a single cookie, but it doesn’t specify whether it’s close or far. However, since the context suggests choosing another cookie, "this" would imply closeness, while "that" implies distance. Without further context, either could work, but typically "that" is used for something farther away.
- Answer: that

#### 4. Wow! All of ______ were good.
- This sentence refers to multiple cookies (plural), so we need a plural demonstrative pronoun.
- Answer: those

#### 5. I hope I don’t get a stomach ache from eating so many of ______.
- This sentence refers to multiple cookies (plural), so we need a plural demonstrative pronoun.
- Answer: them (Note: "them" is not a demonstrative pronoun, but it fits the context here as a possessive pronoun.)

#### 6. You know, ______ one I’m holding sure smells good.
- This sentence refers to a single cookie that is being held (close), so we need a singular demonstrative pronoun for something close.
- Answer: this

#### 7. Perhaps I could just eat ______ one, too.
- This sentence refers to a single cookie, but it doesn’t specify whether it’s close or far. Similar to sentence 3, "that" is more appropriate if the cookie is farther away.
- Answer: that

#### 8. Actually, all of ______ cookies right in front of me are looking delicious.
- This sentence refers to multiple cookies (plural) that are close ("right in front of me"), so we need a plural demonstrative pronoun.
- Answer: these

#### 9. Cookies are always a good idea! But eating so many of ______ are making me queasy.
- This sentence refers to multiple cookies (plural), so we need a plural demonstrative pronoun.
- Answer: those

#### 10. Next time I’ll be smarter about ______.
- This sentence is incomplete, but based on the context of the worksheet, it likely refers to the cookies. Since it’s plural, we use a plural demonstrative pronoun.
- Answer: those
