Lesson Overview
About this worksheet
Demonstratives are words that point to specific things, and there are four: this, that, these, and those. You choose by two questions – is it near or far, and is it one or more than one? This is near and one; that is far and one; these is near and more than one; those is far and more than one. This worksheet teaches the simple grid that picks the right word.
Section A gives eight sentences, each naming a thing and whether it is near or far and one or many, and asks students to write this, that, these, or those. The reference box teaches the near/far and one/many grid with its own examples not reused in the items.
Section B is short-answer. Students recall which word fits each near/far and one/many case, and change a phrase from singular to plural and back. Page 3 is a complete answer key. The skill sharpens precise, clear reference in speech and writing.
How to Use This Lesson
Read the reference box aloud and draw the near/far by one/many grid together.
Complete Section A independently – have students ask ‘near or far? one or many?’ for each.
Work Section B item 13 together: change ‘this book’ to ‘these books.’
Use the answer key on page 3 for self-check or teacher review.
Pair with the Articles Worksheet or the Identifying Adjectives Worksheet for a parts-of-speech mini-unit.
