10 Worksheet of These and Those | For Class 1 to 3 Students

Learning “these” and “those” is an important step in English grammar for young students. These simple words help children describe objects that are near them or far away. This article includes 10 detailed worksheets with answers, tips, and examples to make learning fun and easy for every child.

What Are “These” and “Those”?

“These” is used for more than one object that is close to you. “Those” is used for more than one object that is far from you. Both words are plural and always used with plural nouns. They are called demonstrative pronouns or demonstrative adjectives in English grammar.

“These” is the plural form of “this,” and “those” is the plural form of “that.” Students often get confused between the two, but the simple rule is distance. If the object is near, use “these” — if it is far, use “those.”

Example:

Word	Used For	Example Sentence
These	Near objects (plural)	These books are mine.
Those	Far objects (plural)	Those birds are flying high.
These	Near people (plural)	These girls are my friends.
Those	Far people (plural)	Those boys are playing cricket.

Difference Between These and Those

Many students mix up “these” and “those” because they look similar. The main difference is simple — it is all about distance from the speaker. The table below makes it very clear.

Feature	These	Those
Distance	Near / Close	Far / Away
Plural of	This	That
Example	These apples are sweet.	Those apples are sour.
Pointing	Point to nearby things	Point to faraway things
Used with	Plural nouns	Plural nouns

Why Is It Important to Learn These and Those?

Using “these” and “those” correctly makes your English sentences sound natural and clear. Without them, it becomes hard to explain which objects you are talking about. They are used every day in speaking, writing, and reading.

Teachers include these words in Grades 1 to 5 because they form the base of English grammar. Once students understand this rule, they also find it easier to learn other pronouns. Mastering “these” and “those” is a small but powerful step in building strong English skills.

These book is on the table.	These books are on the table.
Those is my pencil.	Those are my pencils.

Keep lessons short and fun so students stay interested and focused. Use games, flashcards, and picture matching to make grammar practice enjoyable. The more fun the learning, the faster students will remember the rules.

• Use flashcards with near and far pictures on each card.
