Demonstrative Pronoun "This"

by goelmohit2002 Sun Sep 27, 2009 5:29 am

Hi All,

Can someone please tell one correct and incorrect usage of demonstrative pronoun "this"?

If possible, then can someone please point me to a official source problem that tests this concept ?

Thanks
Mohit

hi -

as far as i can tell, the use of "this" as a pronoun is pretty much always incorrect on this test.

you can use it as an adjective - e.g., "this concept", "this notion", etc. - but i have never seen an official problem in which it was used correctly as a pronoun.
