Am learning Japanese and I can't decide when to appropriately use either of
the pairs: **kono/kore** , **sono/sore** , **ano/are** , **dono/dore**

Can someone please explain with Examples how these can be used in what
scenario or why woull one use `kono` and not use `kore` and in what occasion.

question
word-choice words usage nuances
Whats the difference between kono/kore, sono/sore, ano/are, dono/dore in simple terms?
The difference is simple: これ・それ・あれ・どれ are abstract this/that/that one/which
one. この・その・あの・どの need a specific object to modify; that is, something must
come after it.

> この本 ➝ This book  
>  その本 ➝ That book  
>  あの本 ➝ That book (over there)  
>  どの本 ➝ Which book

In fact, I believe この・その・あの・どの are just contractions of これ・それ・あれ・どれ ＋ の.

answer
これ、それ and あれ are used as pronouns, while この、その and あの are used as
demonstrative determiners.

```

    これは私のカバンです —> This is my bag
    このカバンは青いです —> This bag is blue
