Grade 1 English - Worksheet Digital - Free Printable

The worksheet titled "This or That" is designed to help children practice identifying and labeling objects, people, or places based on visual cues. The task requires students to fill in the blank with the correct word (e.g., "This" or "That") depending on whether the object or person is near or far from the speaker.

Let’s go through each question one by one, analyzing the picture and determining whether to use "This" or "That".

---

1. ____ is my friend. → [Image of a girl]

- The arrow points to a girl.
- Since it's pointing directly to someone close (likely nearby), we use "This".
✔ Answer: This

---

2. ____ is Disneyland. → [Image of a castle]

- The arrow points to a distant-looking castle (Disneyland).
- Even though it’s a picture, the context suggests it’s something far away (a place you travel to).
- So, we use "That" for things farther away.
✔ Answer: That

---

3. ____ is an elephant. → [Image of an elephant]

- The arrow points to an elephant.
- It's shown as a single image, but since it's not labeled as "near," and typically animals like this are considered distant in such contexts, we use "That".
- However, if it were right next to the speaker, we'd say "This." But here, it's just a standalone image, so we assume it's being pointed at from a distance.
✔ Answer: That

---

4. ____ is our house. → [Image of a house]

- The house is shown with an arrow pointing to it.
- Houses are often referred to as "our house" when they're nearby.
- Since it's likely the speaker’s home, and the image shows it clearly, we use "This".
✔ Answer: This

---

5. ____ is a mouse. → [Image of a mouse]

- Arrow points to a small animal.
- The mouse is shown close-up, so it's likely "this."
✔ Answer: This

---

6. ____ is an aeroplane. → [Image of an airplane]

- Arrow points to an airplane.
- Airplanes are usually seen from a distance, especially in illustrations.
- So, "That" is appropriate.
✔ Answer: That

---

7. ____ is a chair. → [Image of a chair]

- Chair is shown directly, and it's likely near.
- We use "This" for nearby objects.
✔ Answer: This

---

8. ____ is a truck. → [Image of a red truck]

- Arrow points to a truck.
- Again, it's a standalone image, but trucks are often shown in context of being far away.
- However, since it's a direct illustration, and no clear distance cue, but typically these worksheets use "That" for images that are not immediately adjacent.
- But let's consider: if the child is pointing to a drawing, it might be treated as "this" if it's close.
- But standard convention in such exercises is:
- "This" for things near the speaker
- "That" for things farther away

But in this case, all images are part of the same page, so the distinction is based on position relative to the speaker.

Looking at the layout:
- The arrows point from left to right.
- The items are shown on the right side of the page, suggesting they are not immediate.
- Therefore, "That" is used for most items unless they’re clearly “here.”

However, in most such worksheets:
- If the image is drawn near the text, it's "This"
- If it's further away, it's "That"

But here, all images are placed consistently — so the rule is:
> Use "This" for things that are close or personal (like friends, house, pet)
> Use "That" for things that are far, abstract, or not personal (like Disneyland, airplane, etc.)

So let’s revise:

Final Answers with Reasoning:

1. This is my friend. → Personal, close relationship → This
2. That is Disneyland. → A distant place → That
3. That is an elephant. → Animal, not near → That
4. This is our house. → Belongs to us, likely near → This
5. This is a mouse. → Small animal, possibly near → This
6. That is an aeroplane. → Flying, far away → That
7. This is a chair. → Object near, everyday item → This
8. That is a truck. → Vehicle, possibly distant → That
9. This is my father. → Person close to speaker → This
10. That is a horse. → Animal, not necessarily near → That

Explanation Summary:

- "This" is used for things that are close to the speaker or personal (friends, family, home, common objects).
- "That" is used for things that are farther away, abstract, or not immediately present (like Disneyland, airplanes, elephants, etc.).

This helps children understand spatial relationships and basic pronouns in English.
