It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"This or That", which is designed to help learners practice identifying and labeling objects, people, or places based on visual cues. The task requires the student to choose between "This" or "That" for each sentence, depending on whether the object being referred to is
close ("this") or
far away ("that").
Let's go through each item step by step:
---
Understanding the Concept:
-
"This" is used for something
near the speaker.
-
"That" is used for something
far from the speaker.
In this worksheet, arrows point from the blank in the sentence to an image. The key is to determine if the image is
closer (use "This") or
farther (use "That") — but since it's a picture-based exercise, the positioning of the images relative to the text can be interpreted as:
- The
image immediately next to the sentence is likely
"this".
- The
image farther away (often shown at the end of an arrow) is
"that".
But here’s the twist: In most such worksheets,
the arrow points from the subject to the image, so the
image is what is being described. The word
"This" or "That" depends on
where the image is located relative to the speaker.
However, since there's no actual spatial context (like a drawing of a person), we assume that:
- If the image is
right beside the sentence → use
"This"
- If the image is
at the end of a long arrow, implying distance → use
"That"
But actually, in these types of worksheets, the
arrow indicates the object being referred to, and the choice is usually based on
which one is closer or farther in the layout.
Looking closely at the layout:
1.
Sentence: “______ is my friend.” → Arrow points to a girl.
- The girl is drawn
next to the sentence → close →
This
-
✔ Answer: This
2.
Sentence: “______ is Disneyland.” → Arrow points to a castle (Disneyland).
- The castle is
farther from the sentence (at the end of a long arrow) →
That
-
✔ Answer: That
3.
Sentence: “______ is an elephant.” → Arrow points to an elephant.
- Elephant is at the end of the arrow → far →
That
-
✔ Answer: That
4.
Sentence: “______ is our house.” → Arrow points to a small house.
- House is
close to the sentence →
This
-
✔ Answer: This
5.
Sentence: “______ is a mouse.” → Arrow points to a mouse.
- Mouse is
close to the sentence →
This
-

📝 Explanation Summary:
- The rule is: Use
"This" for things that are
near (visually close to the sentence), and
"That" for things that are
far (at the end of an arrow, indicating distance).
- In this worksheet, the
arrow shows direction, and the
length and placement suggest proximity.
- So, when the image is
immediately adjacent to the sentence →
This
- When the image is
at the end of a long arrow →
That
✔ This helps children learn basic demonstrative pronouns with visual support.
