What children learn
These Class 1 grammar worksheets help children practise using this, that, these, and those correctly with nouns. Children learn to notice two simple clues: whether the object is near or far, and whether there is one object or more than one.
The printable activities include picture-based questions, fill-in-the-blanks, matching tasks, sentence practice, and choosing the correct demonstrative word. They are useful for parts of speech revision, oral language practice, and building clear everyday sentences.
In this parts of speech topic, children learn that this and these point to things that are near, while that and those point to things that are far. They also connect the words to number: this and that are used for one thing, while these and those are used for more than one thing. Examples such as “this pencil,” “that kite,” “these books,” and “those birds” make the idea concrete.
How the practice progresses
The worksheets begin with simple picture clues so children can see distance and quantity together. They then move to choosing the correct word in a sentence, matching phrases to pictures, and completing short sentences. This progression helps children move from recognising the word to using it independently in their own speech and writing.
A simple parent routine
At home, place one object close to your child and another a little away. Say, “This cup is near” and “That bag is far.” Then use two or more objects: “These crayons are near” and “Those shoes are far.” After this quick oral warm-up, let your child complete one worksheet page and read the answers aloud. Encourage pointing while speaking, because the gesture supports the grammar.
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these printables during grammar lessons, English centres, morning work, or revision after introducing demonstrative words. The picture tasks are helpful for group discussion: children can explain why an answer is this instead of that, or these instead of those. The pages also work well as short independent practice after a board activity using classroom objects.
Common errors to watch for
Many Class 1 children mix up this and these because the words look similar. Others choose only by distance and forget number, writing “these apple” or “that flowers.” Gently ask two questions: “Is it near or far?” and “Is it one or many?” Also watch for missing noun agreement, such as using a plural noun after this.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What do Class 1 children practise in these worksheets?
They practise choosing this, that, these, and those by looking at whether the noun is near or far and whether it names one thing or more than one thing.
How can I explain the difference between this and that?
Use real objects. Hold a pencil near your child and say, “This pencil.” Point to a bag farther away and say, “That bag.” The pointing action makes the distance clear.
When should my child use these instead of this?
Use these for more than one thing that is near, such as “these books” or “these crayons.” Use this for only one nearby thing, such as “this book.”
Why does my child write sentences like “these apple”?
This usually means the child has chosen the correct near/far word but has not checked one/many. Ask, “Are there many?” If yes, the noun should usually be plural: “these apples.”
Are these worksheets suitable for classroom revision?
Yes. Teachers can use them after teaching demonstrative words, during English centres, or as quick independent practice with picture-based sentence work.
