Latin in Layman’s - A Rhetoric Revolution

X. Demonstrative Pronouns - Hic, Ille and Iste (Latin in Layman's REVAMPED)

Listen Later

Demonstrative pronouns, like English words “this” and “that,” point at something. They’re often used as adjectives, as in, “this book” or “that tree.” In English, demonstrative pronouns take a different form in the plural:

  • “this” becomes “these,” and
  • “that” becomes “those” ─ making them one of the few English adjective forms which are different in the singular and plural.
