DEMONSTRATIVES: THIS, THAT, THESE, THOSE
“This” is for singular objects close to you. (esto/a)
“That” is for singular objects far away from you. (eso/a)
“These” are for plural objects close to you. (estos/as)
“Those” are for plural objects far away from you. (esos/as)
This apple is really tasty.
That dress in the shop is nice.
These exercises are easy.
Those girls are looking at us!
When we use the verb ‘be’ this and that use ‘is’; these and those use
‘are’. We can only contract ‘that is’ = ‘that’s’. It is not possible to
contract the others.
We often use here with this and these.
We often use there with that and those.
When we want to refer to something further away (‘more far’) we
can use the phrase ‘over there’:
Can you pass me those books from over there?
It is important to practice using them in the middle of sentences as
well (more complicated):
Come and see this funny story.
Can you pass me that pencil please?
Do you need these keys to open the door?
I do not like those jeans over there, they’re ugly!
Advanced
When we talk about things that happened in the past we usually use
‘that’ and ‘those’ (far away in time):
Do you remember that teacher in our school? He was crazy!
Did you speak to those boys at the party last night?
(We do not have a form for ‘aquello/s’ in this context, just use
‘that/those’)
When we talk about imaginary/non tangible things (ideas, thoughts,
questions) we can use all of the demonstratives:
I think that/this is a good idea.
We need to remember to ask these/those questions.
