To identify demonstrative pronouns and underline them, let's start by understanding what demonstrative pronouns are. Demonstrative pronouns are words that point to specific things. In English, the demonstrative pronouns are 'this,' 'that,' 'these,' and 'those.' They show whether something is located near or far in relation to the speaker.
Let's identify and underline the demonstrative pronouns in the given sentences:
G.
That bird is a kingfisher.
This is today's newspaper.
Those are my shoes, and these are yours.
Will all these people attend the ceremony?
This is my favourite restaurant to eat at.
Now, let's move on to identifying and mentioning the kinds of pronouns in the next set:
H.

Is that a puppy? - That is a demonstrative pronoun.
Is there anything you like here? - Anything is an indefinite pronoun.
What has happened to him? - What is an interrogative pronoun.
