Answer (1)
When we talk about the words This is and These are, we are practicing how to identify objects in English.“This is” is used when you are holding or pointing to one object (singular).Example: Hold a pencil → Say: “This is a pencil.”“These are” is used when you are holding or pointing to two or more objects (plural).Example: Hold two pencils → Say: “These are pencils.”
