French Lesson Demonstrative Pronouns

Explain what a demonstrative pronoun is: This, that, these, those, this one, that one, these ones, those ones. They replace a noun previously mentioned in a sentence Give example: Which TV did you buy? That one. Which house do you like? This one. Which sweets do you want? These ones. Write on board: Celui-ci this one (male) Celui-la that one (male) Ceux-ci these ones (male plural) Ceux-la those ones (male plural) Celle-ci this one (female) Celle-la that one (female) Celles-ci these ones (female plural) Celles-la those ones (male plural) Talk about them: It may look like a lot of words, but just remember: What does la mean? - there What does ci mean? (short for ici) - here If the word has a la on the end, its talking about an object away from you. (e.g that one, or those ones) If the word has a ci on the end, it means its talking about an object close to you. (e.g this one, or these ones) Practical French example Je voudrais une pomme, sil vous plait Celle-ci, ou celle-la? Celle-ci, sil vous plait. Informal useWhen speaking casually (to a friend, for example), we can use: Ceci this one Cela that one If you look carefully, you can see that they are both shortened versions of the ones we discussed before. If youre even lazier, then you can use ca (write on board with funny accent thing on the c) which is a replacement for either ceci or cela: Je ne veux pas ca, je veux ca I dont want that, I want this. (may have to gesture)
