The demonstrative adjectives They are the adjectives that express the relative distance that can exist between the sender and the receiver always in relation to the noun to which it is referring.

These adjectives vary according to the context. For example, if the sender is standing near a window it will say: It's cold, we should close this window, right?.

Now, if that same person were standing at the other end of the room and wanted to say exactly the same thing, referring to the same window, they should say: It's cold, we should close that window, right? This does not happen, for example, with qualifying adjectives, which do not vary. For example: The room is huge. In this case the adjective huge It is not modified by the distance between the room and the transmitter or receiver.
