Let's solve this worksheet step by step.
The task is to
fill in the blanks with "This" or "That" based on the picture shown. The key idea is:
-
"This" is used for something
close to the speaker.
-
"That" is used for something
farther away from the speaker.
In these worksheets, the
arrow direction usually indicates proximity:
- If the arrow points
from the object to a nearby item, it’s likely
"This" (closer).
- If the arrow points
to an object that’s farther away, it’s likely
"That".
Let’s go through each one:
---
1.
________ is a cat.
→ There’s a cat
next to the blank, and the arrow points directly to it.
Since the cat is close (immediate), use:
✔ This is a cat.
2.
________ is a dog.
→ The arrow points from the blank to the dog, which is
a bit farther away (on the right side).
So, it's
not close — use:
✔ That is a dog.
3.
________ is an apple.
→ The apple is
right next to the blank, and the arrow points directly to it.
Close =
This:
✔ This is an apple.
4.
________ is a bag.
→ The bag is near the blank, arrow points to it.
It's close →
✔ This is a bag.
5.
________ is a rocket.
→ Arrow points to the rocket, which is
further away from the text.
So, it’s
that:
✔ That is a rocket.
6.
________ is a duck.
→ The duck is
on the far right, and the arrow points to it.
It’s distant →
✔ That is a duck.
7.
________ is a kite.
→ The kite is
near the blank, arrow points directly to it.
Close →
✔ This is a kite.
8.
________ is a hat.
→ The hat is
on the far right, arrow points to it.
Far away →
✔ That is a hat.
9.
________ is a boy.
→ The boy is
on the far right, arrow points to him.
Distant →
✔ That is a boy.
10.
________ is a house.
→ The house is
right next to the blank, arrow points to it.
Close →
✔ This is a house.

📝 Explanation Summary:
- Use
"This" when the object is
near the speaker (usually shown as adjacent or pointed to immediately).
- Use
"That" when the object is
farther away (often on the opposite side of the page).
This helps children learn spatial language and proper usage of demonstrative pronouns.
