These vs Those

<p>What’s the difference?</p>

<p>The difference between this and that. :)</p>

<p>^ this.</p>

<p>More specifically, these is generally something more at hand or closer. For example, you would say “These are my boots” when they belong to you and “I want those boots” when you’re referring to boots you don’t own.</p>

<p>at school I was taught:</p>

<p>-> o this
-----> o that
→ ooo these
-----> ooo those</p>
