Near and far
- this – one thing near: this pen.
- that – one thing far: that house.
- these – many things near: these books.
- those – many things far: those birds.
Examples
- This is my bag.
- Those are tall trees.
Key idea
Use this/these for things near, that/those for things far. This/that = one; these/those = many.
Remember
These and those are for more than one.
