Today, we are going to learn about Demonstratives: this, that, these, and those. These words are super useful because they help us point to people, things, or places, and tell us if they are near or far from us! Let's break it down simply.
1. Singular (One thing or person)
We use This and That when we are talking about only ONE thing.
This: Use it when the object is near you (you can touch it or it is very close).
•
Example 1: This is my new phone.
•
Example 2: Do you like this book I am holding?
•
Example 3: This pizza is delicious!
That: Use it when the object is far from you (you cannot touch it, it is over there).
•
Example 1: That is my car across the street.
•
Example 2: Look at that bird in the sky!
•
Example 3: Is that your brother over there?
2. Plural (Two or more things or people)
We use These and Those when we are talking about MORE THAN ONE thing.
These: Use it when the objects are near you.
•
Example 1: These are my favorite shoes.
•
Example 2: Are these your keys on the table here?
•
Example 3: I love these flowers in my garden.
Those: Use it when the objects are far from you.
•
Example 1: Those are my friends at the park.
