Definition: A pronoun that indicates which item, object, person or concept is being referred to. In both English and Spanish, the same words are used for demonstrative pronouns and demonstrative adjectives, although in Spanish the masculine and feminine pronouns use an orthographic accent to distinguish them from the adjectives.
Also Known As: pronombre demostrativo in Spanish.
Examples: English has four demonstrative pronouns: "this," "that," "these" and "those." In the masculine singular form, Spanish has three demonstrative pronouns: ése, éste and aquél. They also exist in feminine, neuter and plural forms.
