Ghadeer

When you meet someone for the first time it’s always easier to remember their names if you use these / those names right away.
these or those?

bonhob

In your sample sentence, I would actually say one of the following:

When you meet people for the first time it’s always easier to remember their names if you use them /the names right away.

My best to you, bonhob.

Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for the lesson.
I remembered to have learnt once than “That” was used, as you said, for a long distant object but also to emphasize a negative sentiment. (e.i I don’t like that book) even if the object is near you. Is it correct?

milly

Yes, you can use the word “that” in this way!

Good for you, Milly. My best to you.

Rebecca

Hi Rebecca Thank you so much for your lessons

jimmysaenz90

Hello Rebecca! Thanks for your lessons!! jeje
I have a question: in the quiz, the sentense:
Waiter! Please tell the chef __________ is the most delicious fish I have ever eaten
The correct answer is this ( I have marked “this”), but I have a doubt.
We must used that/those for finished things, and in this case, the costumer/client (I don’t know the difference between both words) has already eaten the dish, so, the action of eating have finished, haven’t it? The correct answer must be: “that”.
Thanks!!!

stupor67

Hi Rebecca, at the sentence 5,The activity “eat” has finished. Why did you choose “This”, it was not “that”.
Could you explain about that?
Thanks a lot!

vothanhtu89

Dear Rebecca, can that clause modify a pleural noun?
” Neuroendocrine cells make hormones that help control digestive juices and smooth muscle motility in GI tract.”
Is it true , either ‘ that ‘ or ‘ which’ can be used in such an adjective clause ?
Waiting for your reply. Thank you very much.

stupor67

I love your class.

Thanks for all.

eunju7856

Hi Ms.Rebecca
I hope that you are fine
Regarding to this lesson dealing with (this.that)
You said that for 3 cakes we use these and those, while in the previous lesson you said that “cake” is uncountable. I’m a little bit confused.
Would you please clarify this to me.
Regards

basmala

Hi Rebecca, good lesson
I have a question… Is there another way to say “this”? (Talking about manners)
Wish you the best :)

blessy

Great lesson. I got 100% .
Is this correct way of saying .

Are those your kids.

Nuru

Hello Rebecca,
let me ask you just one thing about the use of this/that: When I’m going to introduce someone new (Peter) to a friend (Jean) I meet, which question is right?
1) Hello Jean! This is my friend Peter.
2) Hello Jean! That’s my friend Peter.
I have to explain it to my Italian students, so please tell me which of these question is right:-) Thanks very much!
Greetings from Padua

Ted Lee

many thanks for this lesson

nounour

Thanks Rebecca,
for your lesson and great explanation
take care

cep62

Thanks rebecca that lesson was so great

kaponii

Oh… I’ve got an issue with understanding the difference between “it”, “this” and “that” in sentences.
For example, why can we say “That’s cool” even we say this sentence in the present time
or
the other person can say “This is cool” in the same time (may be in a conversation) ?

The next example:
“Give it to me” — ?
“Give that to me” — far
“Give this to me” — near

Vadim Osipov

Or another example, what means the sentence “And that’s that”, when I heard it I lost my head :)
(Casino, Martin Scorsese (film))

Vadim Osipov

Thank you.I learned so much today.That lesson was great!

innocent khan

Ta!

Iamhere.

Can anyone tell me what Rebecca is saying at the beginning of this video? After ‘All right’ in 17/18 second, there is a phrase I simply can’t spot out. Yeah, stupid question, but I must admit that listening is my Achilles heel sometimes, and that one sentence constitutes a proof of that.

ernest

‘All right, MANY STUDENTS aren’t sure…’. MANY STUDENTS – OMG, ashamed :(

ernest
