Hi, everybody and welcome to this video.

大家好，欢迎观看这个视频。

We’re going to talk about how to use ‘these’ and ‘those’.

我们将讨论如何使用“这些”和“那些”。

Okay.

好的。

Uhhh, just like we learned with ‘this’ and ‘that’,

呃，就像我们学过“this”和“that”一样，

we use ‘these’ and ‘those’ to talk about nouns that are close to us

我们用“these”和“those”来谈论离我们很近

or far from us.

或很远的名词。

Okay.

好的。

So, let’s take a look at the board.

那么，让我们看一下主板。

Now, we know if there is just one,

现在，我们知道是否只有一朵花，

and it’s close to us,

并且它离我们很近，

we say, “This is a flower”.

我们说，“这是一朵花”。

Okay.

好的。

But there’s more than one.

但不止一个。

It’s plural.

是复数。

So we have to say, “These”.

所以我们必须说“这些”。

“These are flowers.”

“这些是花。”

Again, more than one.

再说一次，不止一个。

Now, I change the ‘be’ verb to ‘are’

现在，我将动词“be”更改为“are”

and I added an ‘s’ at the end of ‘flower’.

，并在“flower”末尾添加了“s”。

So, “These are flowers.”

所以，“这些是花。”

Okay.

好的。

Now, there’s one that’s far away.

现在，有一个人在很远的地方。

We say, “That is a flower.”

我们说：“那是一朵花。”

But, again, there’s more than one.

但话又说回来，不止一个。

There are two flowers.

有两朵花。

So, in that case, we use, “Those are flowers.”

因此，在这种情况下，我们使用“那些是花”。

“Those are flowers.”

“那些是花。”

They’re far away.

他们离得很远。

“Those are flowers.”

“那些是花。”

Let’s look at these.

They’re close by.

And for the flowers that are far away, we say,

对于远处的花，我们说：

“Those are flowers”.

“那些是花”。

Okay.

好的。

But over here we have ‘chairs’.

但这里我们有“椅子”。

So, we have to use the negative.

所以，我们必须使用否定。

Okay.

好的。

We use the contraction ‘aren’t’

which is short for ‘are not’.

它是“are not”的缩写。

We know, “These are flowers”.

我们知道，“这些是花”。

When you want to make a question, you have to change

当你想提出问题时，你必须改变
