Question 3

The Pronoun : Demonstrative

Answer 3

Demonstrative pronouns are used to point out a specific person or thing : did you hear THAT ?; he likes THOSE.

As in English , these pronouns can also be used as adjectives , modifying a noun :

• did you see that man?; he likes those books.

Hic and ille are more emphatic than -is , which is used when no emphasis is intended .
Hic points out someone or something near in space or time : this man ( right here ) , and often refers to the latter ( second ) of two people or things already mentioned .

Ille points out someone or something further away in space or time : that man ( over there ) , and often refers to the former ( first ) of two people or things already mentioned .

Adjectival Use -

When used as adjectives , these demonstratives agree in case , number and gender with a noun in the sentence .

When ille is used as an adjective , it may indicate a well - known or famous person or thing . When it does this , it usually follows the noun it modifies.
