This, That, These, Those

Demonstratives are used to point out a particular item. They are as follows:
This (indicates something close to the speaker)
That (indicates something away from the speaker)
These (indicates some things close to the speaker)
Those (indicates some things away from the speaker)

Example:

A: What is this? (pointing to something held in the speaker's hand or near the speaker)
B: A pencil.
A: What is that? (pointing to something at a distance from the speaker)
B: A tree.
Remember that demonstratives are used in reference to the speaker. (What is near "you" may not be near "me" and vice versa.)

A: What's that you're holding?
B: This is an egg. Here, catch!
A: Oops.
B: That's a mess.
A: What are these (holding up a pair of slippers)
B: Those are slippers.

Be sure to use this/that with singular and non-count nouns and these/those with count nouns.

This orange is sour.		These oranges are sweet.
That truck is full.		Those trucks are empty.
This milk is fresh.

Sometimes demonstratives can be used as pronouns (to refer to a particular noun.)

Give me that!		Whose are these?
Give me that (spoon).		Whose are these (socks)?

This and that can also be used with one. However, these and those are more commonly used alone.

I want this one.		I want these. (not these ones)
I'll take that one.		I'll take those.

On the telephone, this and that are used differently in British and American English to identify callers.

Example:

Receiver:		Hello.
Caller:		I was wondering if you would be interested in buying . . .
Receiver:		Who is this? (American)
		Who is that? (British)
		(Both expressions are used to ask the caller to identify himself/herself.)
Caller:		This is Mr. Fuller from the Acme Brush Company.
		(Same for both British and American English)
Caller:		Hi Jack. Long time no see!
Receiver:		Is this Bob? What a surprise! (American)
		Is that Bob? What a surprise! (British)

My Adventure at Leang-Leang Cave

On Sunday, my parents, my best fruend Novi, and I visited a cave at Maros called Leang-leang . It was my first time to visit the cave, better yet, my best friend came to visit it with me!

The cave was famous for its primitive cave wall paintings which were some hand prints and wild boar paintings. The cave and its surroundings was turned into a national park, so it was taken care of. My parents took a rest in a small hut for visitors of the park, while Novi and I adventured around the cave with a guide. We had to climb some metal stairs to get to the cave, because the cave was embedded into a small mountain. Next stop was a place where some seashells littered the ground and some were actually piled into a big mound! The guide said that these piles of seashells are called kjokkenmoddinger, or kitchen trash. The humans who lived here ate the shells and dumped the left overs in their 'kitchen'. The last place was a small museum where they have skeletons of the humans who lived in the caves. The skeletons along with some roughly made jewelry and weapons were placed inside glass cases for display. The walls of the museum were adorned with photographs taken when they did an excavation there.

After a quick lunch with Novi and my parents, we decided it was time to go back home. We really had the time of our lives!

Recounts tell the reader what happened. They retell a past event eg a visit to a farm. Recounts begin by telling the reader who was involved, what happened, where this event took place and when it happened. This is called the orientation.

The sequence of events is then described in some sort of order eg time.

There may be a reorientation at the end which summarises the event.
