It<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a pronoun used to refer to a specific thing, fact, place, and situation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Example:<\/em><\/p>\n

I visited John\u2019s farm. It was big and clean.<\/p>\n

My dog ate my biscuit. It was probably hungry.<\/p>\n

We also use it to refer to time, distance, and weather.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Example:<\/em><\/p>\n

What time is it now?<\/p>\n

How far is it from here to your hometown?<\/p>\n

It was rainy yesterday.<\/p>\n

That, This<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is used to refer to an object that is far from the speaker.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Example:<\/em><\/p>\n

That red box is used to keep my children\u2019s toys. (Pointing to a box)<\/p>\n

This is used to refer to an object which is close to the speaker.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Example:<\/em><\/p>\n

This is my latest invention. (The speaker is either holding the object or has the object near him\/her)<\/p>\n

These, Those<\/strong><\/p>\n

These<\/strong> – used to refer to objects that are near the speaker.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/em><\/p>\n

These samples are well-made.<\/p>\n

Those<\/strong> – used to refer to objects that are far from the speaker.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/em><\/p>\n

Those apples in that stall look delicious!<\/p>\n

Sometimes, we use this, that, these, and those, as pronouns.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Example:<\/em><\/p>\n

Who owns this (book)?<\/p>\n

What are these (fruits)?<\/p>\n

Please hand me those (boxes)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
