Gli aggettivi dimostrativi indicano vicinanza o lontananza di un oggetto, di una persona o di un animale rispetto a chi parla.
Unico caso nella grammatica inglese gli aggettivi dimostrativi si accordano in numero con il sostantivo a cui si riferiscono.
Gli aggettivi dimostrativi inglesi sono: this ("questo, questa"), these ("questi, queste"), that ("quello, quella") e those ("quelli, quei, quegli, quelle").
All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence -- and then success is sure.
Mark Twain
The best man is like water. Water is good; it benefits all things and does not compete with them. It dwells in lowly places that all disdain. This is why it is so near to Tao.
Lao Tzu
I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man, public as well as private. This is my teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, I am a mischievous person.
Socrates
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are two classes of poets - the poets by education and practice, these we respect; and poets by nature, these we love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty: That power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.
