Descriptive Demonstratives

This worksheet helps students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 strengthen both grammar and composition skills by writing a descriptive paragraph that intentionally uses demonstrative pronouns. Through sensory observation, spatial awareness, paragraph organization, and grammar integration, learners describe objects, people, or places around them while correctly applying this, that, these, and those to clarify meaning and reference.
