Os demonstrativos são palavras essenciais em qualquer idioma, pois ajudam a indicar a localização ou a proximidade de um objeto relativo ao falante e ao ouvinte. Na língua inglesa, os demonstrativos são divididos em dois grupos principais: os que indicam proximidade (‘this’ para singular e ‘these’ para plural) e os que indicam distância (‘that’ para singular e ‘those’ para plural). Compreender e usar corretamente os demonstrativos é vital para uma comunicação clara e eficaz em inglês.
