I hope this kind of question is not already posted. Well, I have learnt that "this" is used when you say for example: This is my house and that is your house. Or these are my trousers and those over there are yours. But what I don't understand about it, is how to use "this" and "that" or plural forms like "these" and "those" in spoken English or when writing a letter. The thing is. I never know when best to use "this" and "that" or "these" and "those" Perhaps you could answer my question that would be so great. Thank you again for taking the time. I hope you will be able to help me again. Thank you. Hi Claire,

The second is more formal. But remember you need the preposition "to" in the first sentence. The man who she was talking to was French = The man to whom she was talking…
