A 这几个词用做形容词时,要与所修饰的名词在数上一致。它们是唯一随名词的数的变化而变化的形容词。
This beach was quite empty last year.
去年这个海滩很空荡。
This exhibition will be open until the end of May.
这次展览会要开到5月底。
These people come from that hotel over there.
这些人是从那边那个饭店来的。
What does that notice say?
那个通知说什么?
That exhibition closed a month ago.
那个展览一个月前就闭幕了。
He was dismissed on the 13th.That night the factory went on fire.
他在13号被解雇。那天晚上工厂失火了。

你看到树梢上的那些鸟了吗?
有时为了表示强调,用this/these/that/those+名词+of+your/hers等或Anns等这一结构,而不用 your/her等+名词结构:
This diet of mine/My diet isnt having much effect.
我节食的方法效果不大。
That car of Anns/Anns car is always breaking down.
安的那辆车老要坏。
由这样的短语构成的话通常具有令人不满的贬义,但不一定总是这样。
B this/these/,that/those用做代词:
This is my umbrella.Thats yours.
这把伞是我的。那是你的。
These are the old classrooms. Those are the new ones.
这些是旧教室。那些是新的。
-Whos that(man over there)?
-Thats Tom Jones.
-那(边的那个男人)是谁?
-那是汤姆琼斯。
播送完一个节目时说:
That was the concerto in C minor by Vivaldi.
刚刚播送的是维瓦尔迪作曲的C小调协奏曲。
介绍时可用this is:
Ann(to Tom):This is my brother Hugh.
安(对汤姆):这是我弟弟休。
Ann(to Hugh):Hugh,this is Tom Jones.
安(对休):休,这是汤姆琼斯。
Telephone caller:Good morning. This is/I am Tom Jones
打电话者:早上好,我是汤姆琼斯
I am这一说法要比this is稍微正式一些。如果打电话者不认识受话者,一般用I am。打电话者的姓名+ here(如:Tom here)要比this is+打电话者的姓名更随便一些。those后边可以跟限定性关系从句:
Those who couldnt walk were carried on stretchers.
那些不能走的人都用担架抬着。
this/that可指前边已经提到的名词、短语或从句:
They are digging up my road.They do this every summer.
他们正在挖我那条路。他们每年夏天都这样做。
He said I wasnt a good wife.Wasnt that a horrible thing to say?
他说我不是个好妻子。那话不是很伤人么?
C this/these, that/those与one/ones连用:
要表达比较或选择的意思时,this/these,that/those这些指示形容词后常跟代词one/ones。但是,除了this/these,that/those后跟有形容词的情况外,one/ones可以省略:
This chair is too low.Ill sit in that(one).
这把椅子太矮了。我要坐那一把。
I like this(one) best.
我最喜欢这个。
I like this blue one/these blue ones.
我喜欢这个蓝的/这些蓝的。
