Let's learn something new!

1. These:

   • "These" is a determiner used to refer to objects or people that are close to the speaker.
   • Example: "These books on the table are mine." Here, "these books" refers to the books that are physically close to the speaker.
   • Example: "Can you pass me these plates?" In this sentence, "these plates" refers to the plates that are within reach or proximity of the speaker.

2. Those:

   • "Those" is a determiner used to refer to objects or people that are farther away from the speaker, typically closer to the listener.
   • Example: "I don't like those shoes in the display window." Here, "those shoes" refers to the shoes that are not within the immediate proximity of the speaker but are visible to both the speaker and the listener.
   • Example: "Look at those birds flying in the sky." In this sentence, "those birds" refers to the birds that are not close to the speaker but are visible to both the speaker and the listener.
