Grammar I: この＿＿＿、その＿＿＿、あの＿＿＿どの＿＿＿

Adds to our KO, SO, A, DO List

But these words are different; they must be followed by a Noun so you are saying

This___, or That___

この本、その山、あの川, その人、あの学生、その先生

Other demonstratives like これ

=already contain a Noun so it can be used on its own and means

"This thing" これは＿＿＿＿＿です。

That's why we can never have これ本、それ山

And remember, これ、それ、あれ、どれ cannot be used for people so it will always be:

この人、その人、あの人

Likewise, ここ、そこ、あそこ、どこ= are about places; they already mean "this place, that place" as they are so we could NEVER have something like:

ここ カフェ or そこ　川　 or そこ デパート

But rather it would be

その カフェ or　その 川 　or あのデパート

So,"this room" = この　へや

"that picture" = その え

"that photograph" = その　しゃしん

"that car over there"　＝ あの　くるま

 

It would seem that like これ、それ、あれ、

この＿Noun＿

その＿N＿、

あの＿N＿＿ are often　です type sentences

その　学生は　アメリカ人　です　

この　先生 は　いい先生　です

Though, of course, you could have

その　学生は　いま　としょかん　に　います

That studetn is in the library now

 

But it is also likely that with the location words in the Ko, So, A, Do family we may have a higher likelihood of seeing a verb of location/existence, like あります／います　

そこに　ぎんこうが　あります　

ここに　あおい　ペンがあります

But you could also have a です pattern with these words like ここ、そこ、あそこ such as:

 

そこ は　いい ところ です = That is a good place.

ここは　ひろい きょうしつ です = This is a big classroom

あそこ は　ラムパブ　です =

That place over there is the Ram Pub

So all these utterances are saying something about a place: This/That place is a good place....., spacious classroom, etc.

 

You try:

This university

That professor

 

That Dog over there

 

 

This Cat

 

That Convenience Store

 

This Department Store

 

 

That Hospital over there

 

This classroom:

That Bike over there

 

That clock

 

That TV over there ...is old

 

This Coffee ... is expensive!
