L'adjectif démonstratif

·         In French we use the demonstrative adjective which is:

Ce / cet	Male singular	This, that
Cette	Female singular	This, that
Ces	Plural	These, Those

·         In French when the noun has a male singular form we use "cet".  However, if the noun starts with a vowel or with an "h" which has no sound we have to use: Ce

Ce garçon	This (that) boy
Cet avocat	This (that) lawyer
Ce crayon	This (that) pen
Cet arbre	This (that) tree
Cet hôtel	This (that) hotel

·         The plural form of the demonstrative adjective is the same for both male and female nouns (ces).

·         We translate the demonstrative adjective as "this" or "that" depending of the context. Nevertheless, in French, to express proximity or distance we can use the words "-ci" (here) or "-là" (there):

·       Demonstrative adjective + noun + "-ci / -là": 

Cette voiture-ci	This car
Cette voiture-là	That car
Ce crayon-ci	This pen
Ce crayon-là	That pen
