How can I use This/That

That is used to point to something further away. For a singular thing, use that.

 

Example:

  • That café looks good. (when you are looking at the café but you’re not in it or right in front of it)

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

This is used to point to something near you. For a singular thing, use this.

 

Example: 

  • I like this phone a lot. (when you’re holding the phone in your hand or pointing to it nearby)
