7. Adjective or pronoun?
Demonstrative pronouns are the same pronouns used for demonstrative adjectives - this, that, these and those. The difference is in the sentence structure.
The demonstrative pronoun takes the place of the noun phrase.
The demonstrative adjective is followed by a noun.

8. Adjective or pronoun? Demonstrative adjectives:
Is this book yours or mine?
Did you finally throw away that old t-shirt?
These shoes smell disgusting.
I told you those old magazines were a fire hazard.
Demonstrative pronouns:
1) These are my favorites.
2) Those are totally gross.
3) What is that?
4) That smells delicious.
5) This really hurts.
Demonstrative adjectives are followed by a noun.
Demonstrative pronouns are not.

9. Using demonstrative pronouns:
Typically, when you use a demonstrative pronoun, you will either need to indicate what you’re talking about by gesturing toward it, or your listener(s) will need to be looking at it as well. For this reason, demonstrative pronouns are mostly used in spoken English.
However, demonstrative pronouns can be used in written English if the context makes clear the noun to which the demonstrative pronoun refers. A list, for example, in close proximity to (either before or after) “these” or “those” would be clear enough.
“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings – these are a few of my favorite things.”

10. Adjective or pronoun?
Possessive pronouns are used to replace the noun. Possessive adjectives are used to describe the noun.
Some common possessive pronouns that you might come across include the following: mine, yours, his, hers, and ours.

11. Adjective or pronoun? Examples of possessive adjectives:
1) My book is on the table.
2) I think you forgot your purse.
3) The dog buried its bone.
4) The girls missed their bus.
5) Joey left his bat at home.
Examples of possessive pronouns:
1) The chair next to the window is his. (Notice you can replace the noun: "His" is next to the window.)
2) The house on the corner is ours. (Ours is on the corner.)
3) I think the chocolate cookies at the party were hers. (Hers were at the party).
4) The phone that is ringing is yours. (Yours is ringing.)
5) The zebra-striped bag is mine. (Mine is the zebra-striped bag.)
