Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to
choose the correct demonstrative adjective — *this, these, that, those* — based on whether the noun is
singular or plural, and whether it's
near or far.

🔹 First, let’s review the rules:
| Singular | Plural |
|--------|--------|
|
This → close to the speaker |
These → close to the speaker |
|
That → farther away from the speaker |
Those → farther away from the speaker |
> Note: "This" and "these" are used for things
near; "that" and "those" for things
farther away.
