Well done, boys and girls!

Now, everyone, let’s talk about the demonstrative pronouns “this” and “these”.

We use the demonstrative pronouns “this” and “these” to talk about people or things that are close to the speaker.

The difference between these two words is that we use “this” with singular nouns and we use “these” with plural nouns.

The demonstrative pronoun “this” is translated as:

Этот, это, эта

The demonstrative pronoun “these” is translated as:

Эти

Look at the examples:

This is my new bicycle.

Or

These flowers are beautiful.

Now, boys and girls, let’s talk about the demonstrative pronouns “that” and “those”.

We use the demonstrative pronouns “that” and “those” to talk about people or things that are far away from the speaker.

The difference between these two words is that we use “that” with singular nouns and we use “those” with plural nouns.

The demonstrative pronoun “that” is translated as:

Тот, то, та

The demonstrative pronoun “those” is translated as:

Те

Look at the examples:

Sophia, look! That bench is brown.

Or

Those books are really interesting.

Repeat once again, please!

This

These

Those

— Well… This is my new helmet.

— Oh, cool! I like it.

— Thank you.

— Wendy, is that your bicycle? I haven’t seen it before.

— No, it’s not mine. That is Jessica’s bicycle.

— Oh, okay! I like the colour of your bicycle, Jessica.

— Thank you. Look, over there, Jordan. Those are my gloves and caps.

— Oh, okay.

— Wow, Jessica! Is that your handbag? It’s so beautiful.

— Oh, no. That handbag belongs to Lora.

— Yes, that’s right! Now look! These skateboards are also mine.

— Oh, cool!

— Oh, those guitars are Wendy’s.

— Wendy, can you play the guitar?

— Yes, I can.

— Wow! I’m so impressed.

— Thanks, Jordan!

— Can you teach me how to play the guitar some day?

— Sure. No problem!

— Oh, Jordan, is this your new red scarf?

— Yes, it is. And this is my new watch.

— Oh, wow! Your watch is beautiful!
