This That These Those worksheet for ESL learners to practice choosing the correct demonstrative pronoun based on images.

This worksheet is designed to help learners practice using the demonstrative pronouns: this, that, these, those.

Key Rule:

- This / These → used for things that are near (close to the speaker).
- That / Those → used for things that are far (away from the speaker).

Also:
- This / That → singular (one item)
- These / Those → plural (more than one item)

✔ Top Left Box:
Image: Hand pointing to a basketball (singular, near)

💡 Teaching Tip:

You can reinforce this with real-life examples:
> “This is my pen.” (holding it)
> “That is your book.” (pointing across the room)
> “These are my pencils.” (on your desk)
> “Those are their shoes.” (across the room)

Great job practicing! 🎯
