00I have just started my online TESOL course and, as a native Englih speaker, am struggling already! I'm sure I wasn't taught half of this stuff at school!!!02br

00Ok my question, in the following sentence "01b00This02b00 man is very old" is "01b00This02b00" a demonstrative pronoun, an adjective and a determiner???0-

0 Hi Flutterbye02br 02br 00Welcome to the forums! Don't worry about terminology as there isn't always agreement on it. 01i 00This02i 00 in your sentence has been called all the names you mention - and in my opinion they are all correct.
