About Lesson

Demonstrative Pronouns: This, That, These, Those

Demonstrative pronouns are used to point out specific things or people in relation to distance (near or far) and number (singular or plural).

Pronoun Distance Number Example
This Near Singular This is my book.
That Far Singular That is her car over there.
These Near Plural These are my shoes.
Those Far Plural Those are their houses across the street.

Key Differences Between “This” and “It”

While both “this” and “it” refer to singular things, they are used differently:

  1. “This” – Used to introduce or emphasize something, especially when pointing it out.

    • ✅ This is my new phone. (Introducing the phone)

    • ✅ I like this dress. (Emphasizing the specific dress)

  2. “It” – Used to refer back to something already mentioned (not for pointing out).

    • ✅ I bought a phone. It is very expensive. (Referring back to “phone”)

    • ❌ ~~It is my new phone.~~ (Incorrect if not mentioned before)

More Examples:

This vs. That (Singular)

  • This (near): This coffee is hot. (The one I’m holding)

  • That (far): That mountain looks huge. (Far away)

These vs. Those (Plural)

  • These (near): These keys are mine. (On the table near me)

  • Those (far): Those birds are flying high. (Distant in the sky)

“This” vs. “It”

  • This (introducing): This is a great movie! (Pointing it out)

  • It (referring back): I watched a movie. It was great. (Already mentioned)

Summary:

  • This/These → Near the speaker (singular/plural).

  • That/Those → Far from the speaker (singular/plural).

  • “This” introduces or emphasizes, while “It” refers back to something known.
