This and That
We use 'this' for ONE thing that is NEAR us, something you can touch, like 'This is my pencil.' We use 'that' for ONE thing that is FAR from us, something you might point to, such as 'That is a bird.' These words help us talk about single items and their distance.
- "This" is for one thing, near you.
- "That" is for one thing, far from you.
These and Those
When we have MORE THAN ONE thing, we use 'these' or 'those'. 'These' is for multiple things that are NEAR us, like 'These are my friends.' 'Those' is for multiple things that are FAR from us, like 'Those are the mountains.' These words help describe groups of items and their location.
- "These" is for more than one thing, near you.
- "Those" is for more than one thing, far from you.
Using Demonstratives Without Nouns
You can also use 'this,' 'that,' 'these,' and 'those' without naming the object if it's clear what you mean. For example, if you point to a toy, you can say 'I want this.' If pencils are on a desk, you can ask 'Are these yours?' This makes your sentences shorter and clearer.
- Demonstratives can be used without a noun if the meaning is clear.
- Example: 'Give me that.' (pointing to a ball).
Zanimivosti
- "This" and "these" are for things you can almost touch.
