the distant objects. In the previous lessons we have
already learnt the following demonstrative pronouns:
Lesson No. 2 section 001 states
that
ذَلِكَ ("That") is the demonstrative pronoun used to refer
to objects that are farther away for masculine nouns
Lesson No. 7 section 002 states
that
تِلْكَ("That") is the demonstrative pronoun used to
refer to objects that are farther
