Demonstrative Pronouns

Consider the following sentences:-
This a person from my uncle.     These are merely excuses.   Make haste, that's a good boy.    My views are quite in accordance with those of the University Commission.     That is the red fart.
      It will be noticed that the Pronouns in italics are used to point out the objects to which they refer, and are, therefore, called Demonstrative Pronouns.
This refers to what is close at hand, and nearest to the thought or person of the speaker; that refers to what is 'over there', farther away, and more remote; as,     This is better than that.
