The word 'these' is an adjective and a demonstrative pronoun.

The adjective 'these' is placed just before the noun it describes as being the ones that are present or near in place, time, or thought. Example:

  • These apples are the best looking of the bunch.

The demonstrative pronoun 'these' take the place of a plural noun (or two or more nouns) indicating nearness in place or time. Example:

  • These are the best looking apples of the bunch.
