This or That worksheet for children to practice using "this" and "that" with images.

Let's solve the "This or That" worksheet step by step. The goal is to choose the correct word — "This" or "That" — for each sentence based on the picture and the context.

We need to understand the difference between:

- "This" – used for something close to the speaker.
- "That" – used for something farther away from the speaker.

But in this worksheet, we're matching a word ("This" or "That") to a picture using an arrow. The arrow points from the blank to the image, so we need to determine whether the object shown is near (this) or far (that). However, since all images are on the same page and there's no actual distance indicated, we interpret it as:

> The arrow indicates which object the sentence is referring to. We must pick "This" if the object is closer, and "That" if it’s farther — but again, since these are drawings, the key is which one is being pointed at.

Actually, looking closely:
Each sentence has a blank followed by "is..." and then an arrow pointing to a picture. So the picture is the object being referred to.

But here's the trick: In English grammar, "this" is used for things that are near, and "that" for things that are far. Since the pictures are just illustrations, we assume the speaker is standing near some objects and farther from others — but since there's no physical distance, we have to rely on common sense and context.

However, in such worksheets, "This" is typically used when the object is immediately visible or close, and "That" when it's distant or not nearby — but again, with drawings, it's often about which one is more likely to be near.

Wait — actually, let's look at the structure:

The arrow goes from the blank to the picture. So the sentence is saying:
“______ is [noun].” → [picture]

So we’re choosing whether to say “This is…” or “That is…” for each object.

But in most cases, unless specified otherwise, when introducing something, we use "This is…" for things nearby, and "That is…" for things at a distance.

But here, all items are drawn on the same page. So perhaps the idea is:

- If the object is on the left side (closer), use "This"
- If it's on the right side (farther), use "That"

But that's not always reliable.

Alternatively, maybe the arrow direction helps. But arrows go from the sentence to the image, so they don't indicate proximity.

Let’s analyze each one logically:

---

1. ____ is my friend. → [girl drawing]

- A person you know well, likely close to you.
- So we say: "This is my friend."
- ✔ This

2. ____ is Disneyland. → [castle]

- Disneyland is a place far away (not here).
- So we’d say: "That is Disneyland." (because it’s distant)
- ✔ That

3. ____ is an elephant. → [elephant]

- An elephant might be seen up close, but it's a large animal — possibly distant.
- But since it's a picture, and we're describing it directly, we'd say: "This is an elephant."
- ✔ This

4. ____ is our house. → [house]

- Our house is where we live — very close.
- So: "This is our house."
- ✔ This

5. ____ is a mouse. → [mouse]

- A small animal, possibly nearby.
- We’d say: "This is a mouse."
- ✔ This

6. ____ is an aeroplane. → [airplane]

- An airplane is usually seen in the sky — far away.
- So: "That is an aeroplane."
- ✔ That

7. ____ is a chair. → [chair]

- A chair is something nearby, probably in the room.
- So: "This is a chair."
- ✔ This

8. ____ is a truck. → [truck]

- A truck could be near or far, but since it's a drawing, and we're identifying it directly, we'd say: "This is a truck."
- ✔ This

9. ____ is my father. → [man]

- A family member — very close.
- So: "This is my father."
- ✔ This

10. ____ is a horse. → [horse]

- A horse could be near or far, but again, it's a direct identification.
- Likely: "This is a horse."
- ✔ This

But wait — now I notice: Most of the answers are "This", except #2 and #6.

Is there a pattern?

Let’s reconsider:

In many such worksheets, the rule is:

> Use "This" for things that are close or familiar, and "That" for things that are distant or not nearby.

So:

- Disneyland is a famous place, far away → That
- Aeroplane is flying in the sky → That
- Others are everyday objects or people close to you → This

So let’s finalize:

Final Answers:

1. This is my friend. → (person close to you) ✔
2. That is Disneyland. → (distant place) ✔
3. This is an elephant. → (we're showing it, it's close) ✔
4. This is our house. → (your home, close) ✔
5. This is a mouse. → (small animal, nearby) ✔
6. That is an aeroplane. → (in the sky, far) ✔
7. This is a chair. → (object nearby) ✔
8. This is a truck. → (vehicle, possibly nearby) ✔
9. This is my father. → (family, close) ✔
10. This is a horse. → (animal, close) ✔

✔ Answer Key:

1. This
2. That
3. This
4. This
5. This
6. That
7. This
8. This
9. This
10. This

Explanation:

- Use "This" for things that are near or familiar and present.
- Use "That" for things that are far away or not nearby.

Even though all images are on paper, the context implies:
- Disneyland and aeroplane are distant (so "That")
- All others are close or personal (so "This")

This matches standard English usage in such exercises.

✔ Final Answer:
```
1. This
2. That
3. This
4. This
5. This
6. That
7. This
8. This
9. This
10. This
