Let's solve the worksheet step by step.
The task is to
complete each sentence with either
"this" or
"that", based on the picture and the context of proximity.
Key Rule:
-
"This" is used for something
close to the speaker.
-
"That" is used for something
farther away from the speaker.
In this worksheet, all the images are shown as being pointed at by a hand. Since the hand is pointing directly at each object (implying it's near), we use
"this" in all cases.
Even though "that" might be used when an object is farther, here the visual cue (the finger pointing) suggests the object is
being indicated right now, so
"this" is appropriate.
