Let's solve this step by step.
The task is to use the sight words
"this" and
"that" correctly in each sentence. These words are used to point to things:
-
"This" is used for something that is
close to the speaker.
-
"That" is used for something that is
farther away.
However, in this worksheet, we don't have a clear context of distance (like near or far), so we need to interpret based on common usage in such exercises.
In early language learning worksheets like this, the convention is often:
- If the picture is
on the left, and the blank is before the object, it usually uses
"This" because it's closer (as if the speaker is pointing at it).
- If the picture is
on the right, and the blank is before the object, it usually uses
"That" because it's farther (as if the speaker is pointing to something distant).
Let’s go through each row:
---

______ is a doll.

🔍 Explanation:
We used
"this" when the image was on the
left side (implying closeness) and
"that" when the image was on the
right side (implying distance). This is a common teaching strategy in early English learners' materials to help distinguish between "this" and "that" using spatial positioning.
✔ This helps children associate proximity with the correct word.
