Demonstratives (this – these/that – those)

A bit of theory

This/These are used

  • for people or things near us. This box is yours.

  • for present/future situations. I’m going out with Ted this week.

  • when the speaker is in or near the place he/she is referring to. This house was built in 1856. (The speaker is near or in the house.)

  • to introduce people or to identify ourselves on the phone. “Ann, this is Jane.”

That/Those are used

  • for people or things not near us. That boy over there is my son.

  • for past situations. That day was the worst of his life.

  • to refer back to something mentioned before. “We’re moving to York.” “That’s fantastic!”

  • when speaking on the phone to ask who the other person is. “Hello? This is Alan Smith. Who’s that, please?”
