alex im still confusin this words •This apple.

Hi,
This and that are singular
These and those are plural
This can be used when you are near by persons or something.
Example for this: You and your friend are sitting together and referring/looking some picture/photo and you are saying to your friend “see this picture is very nice”
These can be used when you are near/very close by persons or something but it should be plural manner.
Example for these: You and your friend are sitting together and referring/looking some pictures’/photos’ and you are saying to your friend “see these pictures’ are very nice”
Now I’m giving an explanation about “that”
Please read this scenario carefully:
That can be used when something is far or you are ignoring something.
Example for something far “That”:
Just make an assumption you are walking on street with your girl friend and you are saying “see that rose is awesome”
Example for something far “Those”:
Just make an assumption you are walking on street with your girl friend and you are saying “see those roses’ are awesome”
Note: When you are combing more than one rose you should say “those” and if it is only one rose then you should say “that”.
Example for ignoring something “That”:
If anyone giving chocolate to you for his/her birthday and you are saying I don’t want this “5 star” chocolate and I want that Diary milk chocolate.
very good.
This and That are use to indicate singular
-this:use when item or person is close by or in your hands.
-that:when is away from you.
These and Those are use to indicate plural;
-these:items or peoples are close to you.
-those:items or peoples are away from you.

Hi Alex! Thanks for the lesson ;-)
May I ask you something?
How is right to say with the noun “days”
like for example if I wanna say: I’ve been working hard these days
Is it right?
and another example the sentence “these couple days” – Does it sound wrong and english speakers don’t say like this?
first of all , i want to thank you Alex for another great lesson . all right .
i’ve got a question for you .. why shouldn’t i say those boys are wearing a red hat??
hello , first of all I want to say hi to everyone here , because I’ am a new user here, and i want to thanks all teachers that did their best to teach people free on the internet..and for teh lessons it’s very important for somone who wants learn english fluently..finally i want to say that, i am going to pass my Toefl paper based next month and i need to comunicat with people who are interesting on toefl…good luck see you freinds
Alex, it’s one of greatest classes that I ever seen, and I use to really confused with using those and ( this / these) but now it’s crystal clear, so Thanks again Alex, God bless u..
Please focus your attention at him, remove fearness/Scareness and create confidence on you like you can do anything.
I wanted to say one important thought to entire readers and especially for you.
When you are something nervous or unconfidence please read below mentioned note:

Thanks a lot guys you are amazing , I am planning to give my IELTS possibly next month , aiming at 7 in all modules , your teaching will really help me to achieve that.
Hey Alex! Greetings from Germany!
First of all I wanted to mention that your explanation is just great! I always understand everything you say! But I’ve still a question about these, those, this and that. I talked to my friend from the US recently and we were talking on the phone ( if that matters ) about some topics and themes.
What shall I use in this case? ” Yeah I love this topic we are talking about right now ” ?
Or “that”? I mean.. a topic can’t be close to me or far away from me so I’m really confused about that. There are many words like that. Another one is “situation”. ” I don’t like “this?” situation ” ” I didn’t like “this?” situation “? I mean, the situation happened, but still, its neither close to me nor far away
Thank your alot for your help and your lessons!
I appreciate that alot!!
Hi,
With respect to phone conversation you and your friend are for away so better you can say Yeah, I love “that” topic because its too tragedy
Hi Alex, thanks for the video. I have a question about how to use “his, her, its, their, our and mine”, I know how to use most of them but for example when you say “That person was with his/her/its?? dog? when you don’t specify a gender, how do you know which of these 3 options you have to use? the same case happens when you use “anyone/someone/everybody/etc… Thank you!
I can’t understanding.Why the sentence: (These sunglasses are great!)is incorrect.(That boys is wearing a red hat.) is correct.
Hi Angela,
You are right. The sentence “These sunglasses are great” is correct, and “That boys is wearing a red hat” is incorrect. Does the quiz say something different?
could u help me?The goverment wants to…a new scheme to encourage people to start their own businesses.Which one i can put? Hand out, find out, try out or pass by.
Thanks Alex for the demo on this, that, etc. I am taking a grammar exam this Wed to complete my Tefl Certificate. Having left school age 14 & I’m now 53 I’m really struggling to understand, but working hard at it. Right now I’m studying past exam questions & trying to answer them. I am doing error corrections right now, I must write the sentence in the correct form & explain the rule I would describe to the student. The latter part of the question is giving me the most trouble. Can you please help me to understand how to explain the rules simply. I am in Granada right now, the students I’ve been practicing with are spanish. I firstly need to understand these rules or how can I possibly help speakers of another language to understand. Thats really difficult in a 4 week programme.
The immediate question is:
1. This box contains less oranges than that one.
2.The new book is gooder than the previous one.
3.The eggs are adding to the cake mixture.
4.If I were rich, I will buy a swimming pool.
Alex I have tried to correct 2 previous sentences & spent hours doing so. I dont think they are entirely correct but if I continue this way it will be next Wed. before I finish this sample paper. Would you please help me somewhat get a handle on the rules for the above 4 so that I can then go ahead & try to correct & explain rules for the next 6 questions myself. Many thanks. Hope I hear from you. I will be really appreciative of any help. Sandy (FRom Dublin Ireland)Go raibh maith agat.
Finally I understood these pronouns. Thank you, Alex. This site helps lots of people in the world to learn English in a easy and simple way. You and the EngVid team are doing an important social and educational work. Congratulations!!
Dear Teacher
When I do the quiz I chose the second sentence as correct one but when I checked the answers it was wrong and third one is the correct , but it is not the same while boy have s in the end!!While “this” is for single!! Can you please explain that to me?
Which sentence is incorrect?
These sunglasses are great!
This movie is boring.
That boys is wearing a red hat.
Those pants look good on you.
We must say “That boy,” because “that” is for single objects that are far away from us.
Hi,
You can say that boy but you can’t say that boys.
For more details please refer my note on comment sections.
you are a good instructor nd u have a smile face .. nice work nd thanks for all your hard work and dedication .. Hope To give us more lessons about grammer rules
Good morning,I been try to learn english for 20 year, I never speak right,I never read the right way, I never improve my the way suppose be, I am so frustrate,but most my pronunciation
hi sadia islam we can say that apple if it is ( single and far away from us ) and we say this apple if it is ( single and close to us )and in the plural we say ( these apples / close to us ) and (those apples / far of us ) i hope that you understand the rule , thanks
The quiz # 4 answer is incorrect because no apostrophe between boys example “boy’s”. If you want to bring this answer in right way you should write or say “That boy’s is wearing a red hat”.
Note: when you use the term boys, Womans and Childs it always express plural term only and if you wanted to say something in singular manner please place the apostrophe before the s to show singular possession.
Note: Use the apostrophe to show possession whenever it’s required.
nice lesson i learned a lot from you! thank you very much alex! you’r great teacher, but why is it my score is only 83.33 i got only one mistake right? anyway that only a joke! hehehe…..

I’m beginning to learn English new
Hi Readers,
The quiz # 4 answer is incorrect because no apostrophe between boys example “boy’s”. If you want to bring this answer in right way you should write or say “That boy’s is wearing a red hat”.
Note: when you use the term boys, Womans and Childs it always express plural term only and if you wanted to say something in singular manner please place the apostrophe before the s to show singular possession.
Note: Use the apostrophe to show possession whenever it’s required.
