This, that, these, those worksheets | Worsheets library - Free Printable

Let's solve this worksheet step by step.

The task is to choose between "This" or "That" for each sentence, depending on the position of the object in relation to the speaker.

Rule:

- "This" is used for something close to the speaker.
- "That" is used for something far from the speaker.

Looking at the image:

Each sentence has a blank and an illustration. There are two small hand icons pointing — one pointing to the right (near) and one pointing to the left (far). But in this case, it seems the hand pointing to the object indicates whether it’s close or far.

But actually, looking closely:
- The pointing hand appears next to the object, but the direction matters.

However, based on typical usage in such worksheets:
- If the object is on the same side as the speaker (left) → "This"
- If the object is on the opposite side (right) → "That"

But here, since there is a cartoon baby at the top left, we can assume he is the speaker. So objects on his side (left) are closer, and those on the right are farther.

Wait — actually, the images are arranged vertically with objects on the right side, and the pointing hands are next to them. But the hand pointing toward the object suggests direction of reference.

But more accurately, in such exercises:
- If the object is close to the speaker, use "This"
- If the object is far from the speaker, use "That"

Now, let’s analyze each item.

---

1. ________ is a car.

- Image: A green car on the right, with a hand pointing toward it.
- Since the car is on the right, and the speaker (baby) is on the left, the car is far away → Use "That"

✔ That is a car.

---

2. ________ is a kite.

- Kite is shown above the sentence, near the center, but still on the right side.
- Hand points to it. It's not near the speaker → "That"

✔ That is a kite.

---

3. ________ is a tree.

- Tree is on the right, with a hand pointing to it.
- Again, far from the speaker → "That"

✔ That is a tree.

---

4. ________ is a ball.

- Ball is on the right, hand pointing to it.
- Far from speaker → "That"

✔ That is a ball.

---

5. ________ is a lamp.

- Lamp is centered, but slightly to the right, with a hand pointing to it.
- Still, it's not near the speaker → "That"

✔ That is a lamp.

---

6. ________ is an apple.

- Apple is shown on the left, near the middle, and very close to the speaker (baby).
- Also, no hand pointing from far away — the apple is near → "This"

✔ This is an apple.

---

7. ________ is a computer.

- Computer is on the right, with a hand pointing to it.
- Far from speaker → "That"

✔ That is a computer.

---

8. ________ is a doll.

- Doll is on the left, near the bottom, and close to the speaker.
- So, "This"

✔ This is a doll.

Final Answers:

1. That is a car.
2. That is a kite.
3. That is a tree.
4. That is a ball.
5. That is a lamp.
6. This is an apple.
7. That is a computer.
8. This is a doll.

Explanation:

- We use "This" when the object is close to the speaker (on the left side, near the baby).
- We use "That" when the object is far from the speaker (on the right side).

Only apple (6) and doll (8) are on the left, so they are close → "This"
All others are on the right → "That"

✔ Correct answers:
1. That
2. That
3. That
4. That
5. That
6. This
7. That
8. This
