🧠 Grammar Focus
Foco gramatical

We use ‘this’ to talk about one thing close to us. We use ‘that’ to talk about one thing far from us. The sentence usually starts with ‘This is’ or ‘That is’. ‘This’ and ‘that’ come before a noun. We say ‘This is a book’ when the book is near. We say ‘That is a chair’ when the chair is far. A common mistake is using ‘this’ for far things or ‘that’ for near things. Remember, ‘this’ = near, ‘that’ = far. Here are examples: This is my pen. That is your bag. This apple is red. That dog is big.

Usamos ‘this’ para falar de uma coisa perto de nós. Usamos ‘that’ para falar de uma coisa longe de nós. A frase normalmente começa com ‘This is’ ou ‘That is’. ‘This’ e ‘that’ vêm antes de um substantivo. Dizemos ‘This is a book’ quando o livro está perto. Dizemos ‘That is a chair’ quando a cadeira está longe. Um erro comum é usar ‘this’ para coisas longe ou ‘that’ para coisas perto. Lembre-se, ‘this’ = perto, ‘that’ = longe. Aqui estão os exemplos em inglês.
