LESSON XIII.THE DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUN TIU.
56. The demonstrative pronoun tiu, that, is used to indicate a person or a definitely specified thing. The plural is tiuj, those:
Tiu estas la via, kaj mi volas tiun, that is yours, and I wish that one.
Tiuj estos koleraj kontraŭ vi, those will be angry with you.
Li aŭdis tiujn, he heard those (persons, or things).
57. The demonstrative pronoun tiu is also used as a pronominal adjective, in agreement with a noun:
Tiu vento estos varma, that wind will be warm.
Mi vidas tiun ventoflagon, I see that weathercock.
Tiuj infanoj estas junaj, those children are young.
Mi trovos tiujn librojn, I shall find those books.
TENSES IN INDIRECT QUOTATIONS.
58. The verb in an indirect statement (53) or an indirect question remains in the same tense in which it would be if the statement or question were direct. (In English this is true only if the introductory verb is present or future, since after an introductory past tense the tense of the indirect quotation is changed, and am, is, are, have, will become was, were, had, would, etc.)
