Close Call

This worksheet introduces students to the demonstrative pronouns this, that, these, and those by matching each word with its correct usage. Students are instructed to identify whether an item is near or far, and if it’s singular or plural. In the second section, students read sentences and determine the quantity (one or more) and proximity (close or far) of objects being described. This combination of matching and critical thinking helps clarify the nuances between these pronouns.

Worksheets like this improve vocabulary and grammar comprehension by reinforcing the distinctions between different pronouns. Practicing these terms helps students understand how to communicate specific spatial relationships and quantities effectively. The activity enhances reading comprehension by requiring attention to context clues within sentences. Additionally, distinguishing between singular and plural forms develops students’ attention to detail and critical thinking.
