この・その・あの ＋ N (kono / sono / ano + N) — this N / that N / that N over there
'This/that' glued to a noun.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
Where これ／それ／あれ stand alone, この／その／あの are always glued to a noun (N). The distance meaning is the same — この = near me, その = near you, あの = far away. この cannot end a sentence; it always needs a noun after it (この本, その人).
