Let's solve this "This or That" worksheet step by step. The task is to choose the correct word —
"This" or
"That" — for each sentence based on the image shown. The key idea is:
-
"This" is used for something
close to the speaker.
-
"That" is used for something
farther away.
We'll go through each item and determine which word fits best based on the position of the images.

📝 Explanation Summary:
- We use
"This" when referring to something
near the speaker (on the left side of the arrow).
- We use
"That" when referring to something
farther (on the right side).
- In all cases, the object being described is on the
right, except for the girl (item 1) and the man (item 9), who are on the
left — hence
"This" is used for them.
