Educational grammar worksheet focusing on the correct usage of "this," "that," "these," and "those" in sentences.

Let's solve the task step by step.

---

Part 1: Match the word on the left with its correct definition on the right

We are given four words: This, That, These, Those, and their definitions.

Here are the words and their correct matches:

- This → a person, place or thing close to you
- That → a person, place or thing at a distance
- These → people, places or things close to you (plural)
- Those → people, places or things at a distance (plural)

✔ So the correct matching is:

| Word | Definition |
|--------|-----------|
| This | a person, place or thing close to you |
| That | a person, place or thing at a distance |
| These | people, places or things close to you |
| Those | people, places or things at a distance |

> Note: The original list seems to have a mix-up in labeling. The actual correct definitions are as above.

Part 2: Complete each sentence with 'this', 'that', 'these', or 'those'

Now let’s go through each sentence one by one and choose the correct demonstrative pronoun based on proximity and number.

---

1.) Do you see ______ bird over there?
- "Over there" indicates distance.
- "Bird" is singular.
- So we use that.

✔ Answer: that

---

2.) The newspaper I'm holding has today's news.
Wait — this sentence is already complete. But it's meant to be filled in? Let’s check.

Actually, looking closely:
"2.) The newspaper I'm holding has today's news."
There’s no blank here. Perhaps it's a typo or misformatting. But if we assume it's supposed to be something like:

> "______ newspaper I'm holding has today's news."

Then since the newspaper is close (I'm holding it), and it's singular, we use this.

✔ Answer: This

3.) Place the vase on ______ table in the corner.
- "In the corner" suggests distance from speaker.
- "Table" is singular.
- So we use that.

✔ Answer: that

4.) Mary wants ______ apples displayed in the window.

- "Apples" is plural.
- So we use those.

✔ Answer: those

5.) ______ is the best movie I've ever seen.
- Refers to one movie (singular).
- Since it's being discussed directly (likely close in context), but not necessarily physical proximity — however, "this" is used for emphasis on current topic.
- In such cases, this is appropriate when referring to something being discussed now.

✔ Answer: This

6.) ______ shoes are hurting my feet.

7.) Could you toss me one of ______ pillows?
- "One of" implies multiple pillows.
- If the pillows are near the speaker, use these.
- But if they're far away, use those.
- Since the speaker is asking someone to toss them, the pillows are likely not near the speaker, so those.

✔ Answer: those
