The demonstrative pronouns are words used to refer to a subject without having to mention it. These pronouns allow to indicate distance or closeness with respect to the emitter. For example: that, this, that.
Demonstrative pronouns indicate where an object is in relation to the speaker. For example: Is window is broken but that closes well. The receiver deduces that the one that is close to the emitter is the one that is broken and not that it is further away is the one that closes well.
