Can you tell me what the difference
between the girls in this given picture?
Yes, the difference is in the distance
between the dog and the girl. In the first picture the dog is near the girl. So,
the girl can say: This is a dog. In the second picture the dog is far from the
girl. So, the girl can say: That is a dog. So, here This and That are used to
point at the distance for a singular thing, person or animal. These and
Those are used to say distance for plural things, persons or animals. They
are also called Demonstrative pronoun.

for pointing out something, some people or some
animals. So, here is one more example.
Learning outcome: The students were able to learn about demonstrative
