This, That, These, Those
This, that, these and those point at things. Choose the word by asking two questions: is it near or far, and is it one thing or more?
- this – one thing near you (here, in your hand): this book
- these – more than one thing near you: these shoes
- that – one thing far from you (over there): that house
- those – more than one thing far from you: those mountains
They can come before a noun (this cup) or stand alone (This is my room). Use is after this and that, and are after these and those. Words like here, in my hand or I'm wearing point to this/these; over there and in the distance point to that/those.
Examples
- This coffee is very hot.
- That car over there is new.
- These apples are fresh.
- Those birds are flying south.
- Is that your house?
