Read all the examples. Find the pattern — near vs far, one vs many. Then study the table and build sentences.Leé todos los ejemplos. Encontrá el patrón — cerca vs lejos, uno vs muchos. Luego estudiá la tabla.
✦ THIS — near you, one thing
This is my pen.Este es mi bolígrafo.
This is a book.Este es un libro.
This is my chair.Esta es mi silla.
What is this? This is a key.¿Qué es esto? Esto es una llave.
This is not my bag.Esta no es mi mochila.
✦ THAT — far from you, one thing
That is the door.Esa es la puerta.
That is your desk.Ese es tu escritorio.
That is a map.Ese es un mapa.
What is that? That is a window.¿Qué es eso? Esa es una ventana.
That is not my chair.Esa no es mi silla.
✦ THESE / THOSE — more than one
These are my books.Estos son mis libros.
These are my keys.Estas son mis llaves.
Those are the chairs.Esas son las sillas.
Those are the windows.Esas son las ventanas.
Are those your books? No, those are not my books.¿Esos son tus libros? No, esos no son mis libros.
The Rule
Near or Far? One or Many?
| Singular (one) | Plural (many) | |
|---|---|---|
| Near 👆 | THIS is… | THESE are… |
| Far 👉 | THAT is… | THOSE are… |
Memory trick: THIS and THESE both start with TH and have an S sound — they go together (near). THAT and THOSE also start with TH — they go together (far). Near = shorter distance, shorter words. Far = longer distance.
