This worksheet is called
"This or That", and it's designed to help learners practice using the demonstrative pronouns
"this" and
"that" correctly based on proximity. The rule is:
- Use
"this" for something that is
close to the speaker.
- Use
"that" for something that is
far from the speaker.
In this worksheet, each sentence has a blank to fill in with either
"This" or
"That", and there are two images shown: one close (on the left) and one far (on the right). The arrow points from the sentence to the image that matches the correct answer.

📝 Explanation:
The key idea is
proximity:
- "This" refers to things near the speaker.
- "That" refers to things farther away.
Since the images are arranged so that the
left image is closer and the
right image is farther, you use:
-
This for the
left-side images
-
That for the
right-side images
Even though some images might seem odd (like a mouse being "this" and a castle being "that"), the logic follows the spatial layout of the worksheet.
✔ This is a great way to teach young learners the difference between "this" and "that" in context!
