so there are four very similar words
that mean something kind of similar this
that bees and those and all of these
words indicate where something is
located in relation to the speaker and
whether it's singular or it's plural so
I'm going to show you a little chart
that I use to help differentiate between
these four words you can see two of the
words are singular this and that they're
used to refer to just one item and you
can see in this column these and those
are plural they're used to refer to more
than one item if you look across you can
see that this and these are words that
indicate something is near and that and
those are words that indicate something
is far so to give you an example I might
say this pen is purple those pencils are
yellow or I might say these markers are
colorful those pencils are not very
colorful another example is that these
books are heavy but those pencils are
not very heavy so when you're using this
that these and those just know that the
word you choose is going to indicate how
close something is to you and also how
many of them there are
