Document Summary
Referring to people, places and things using: kono, sono, ano (and dono): These are referred to as demonstrative adjectives. (close to speaker) Kono + noun = this [noun] (close to listener) Dono + noun = asks which of these/those . These only modify nouns and so must be followed by a noun. Structure: (a main thing) wa (b reference point thing) no (location word) ni/de (verb)masu. Watashi wa yoku sono ki no shita de tabemasu. I saw him in front of the library. Referring to things with no similar to one : X one (no acts like the noun and replaces the noun in the sentence) eg. red one, blue one, big one, pretty one Replaces the actual noun in the sentence structure. When the -adjective is attached to as a pronoun, just like when it is attached to a noun, you add the after the adjective. Yes, but that black one is pretty too.
