Demonstrative Pronouns The demonstrative pronouns (this one/that one; these ones/those ones) refer back to someone or something already named. Tu aimes les drames? Celui quon passe ce soir est super! To distinguish this one from that one, and these ones from those ones, use –ci and –l à. Regarde les jeux. Celui-ci est bon, mais celui-là est ennuyeux.
