The Basics of Demonstratives

Here is a simple breakdown of how to use these four essential words:

• This: Used for a single object that is near the speaker (e.g., “This is a pen”).
• That: Used for a single object that is further away (e.g., “That is a bottle”).
• These: Used for multiple objects that are near the speaker (e.g., “These are letters”).
• Those: Used for multiple objects that are further away (e.g., “Those are postcards”).

Common Uses and Examples

In everyday conversation, these words are frequently used to identify items or answer questions. For instance, if someone asks, “Is this a pen?”, a common positive response is “Yes, it is”. If the object is different from what was asked, you might say, “No, it isn’t. It is a pencil”.

Here are some typical examples you might encounter:

• Near (Singular/Plural): “This is a book” and “These are chairs”.
• Far (Singular/Plural): “That is a dictionary” and “Those are tables”.
