In this question-answer session, we will dive deeply into the use of the demonstrative words this, that, these, and those in English conversation. These simple yet essential words are fundamental for pointing out specific people, objects, or ideas in our speech, but they can be tricky to master. By focusing on how and when to use each one, this session aims to build confidence and clarity in your spoken English.
This and that are used for singular nouns, while these and those are used for plural nouns. They all function as tools to show the location and relationship between the speaker and the subject being discussed. By understanding the subtle differences between each, you’ll find it easier to communicate precisely and avoid misunderstandings.
To begin, this is used to refer to something close to the speaker, usually within arm’s reach or something very recent. For example, you might say, "This book is interesting," to describe a book you're holding or reading at that moment. That, on the other hand, is used to point out something farther away, either in distance or time. You could say, "That building across the street is a museum," to describe a place that is visible but not immediately close.
Moving to plural forms, these is the plural of "this" and is used to indicate multiple items close to the speaker. For instance, if you have several books in front of you, you would say, "These books are mine." Those is the plural of "that," and it is used to describe items or people that are farther away from the speaker. For example, "Those stars are bright tonight," points to stars in the sky, which are obviously far from us.
In this session, we’ll use various examples to explore each of these demonstratives in depth. Participants will practice forming sentences with "this," "that," "these," and "those," learning how to accurately express relationships in distance and context. We’ll cover practical topics such as introducing objects in a room, discussing people in photos, and describing experiences or items in different locations. By practicing with real-life examples, we aim to make these concepts stick in a practical and enjoyable way.
