Grammar notes

👉 Near Me or Far? (this / that)

Use this for one thing near you. Use that for one thing farther away. Both words point at only one thing, so they are singular.

  • Example: This is my bag.
  • Example: That is your house.

Quick Rule

  • this = one thing near
  • that = one thing far

Point with your finger and let the little word do the rest.
