Ola, Comunidade do iTalki!
Uso do this e that.
Eu fico em dúvida em usar ( this ) e ( that) nestas situações. Se possível, poderia me explicar o porquê está usando o ( this ) ou ( that ) na frase.
1. Quando alguém comenta sobre algo que não existe fisicamente e Eu faço uma referência a isso posteriormente. Exemplo;
I have a dream of order a Porsche. Yes, ????? is a expensive dream.
-----
2. Quando alguém comenta sobre algo que é físico, mas não está no ambiente onde eu estou com a pessoa. Eu faço uma referência a isso posteriormente. Exemplo;
I saw a zeppelin. Yes, ?????? zeppelin is an amazing engineering project.
-----
3. Quando eu quero me referir a algo que estou conversando e está no contexto da conversa. Exemplo:
I just wrote a big book. What is ????? book?
Muito Obrigado

This, isso, that aquele. Gilliard, You make many mistakes. I would suggest if you want to improve your English, it is time to take a lesson on here. I am not saying with me, but with whatever teacher that seems to offer what you want. You can take a lesson with an informal tutor and then they can explain your mistakes to you and give you examples.

this= close to us
That = further away.
Talking about my dream to have a Porsche: This is an expensive dream.
Talking about your dream of having a Porsche: That is an expensive dream.
Seeing a zeppelin overhead: This zeppelin is an amazing engineering project.
Seeing a zeppelin far away and pointing: That zeppelin...
Holding the book: What is this book?
Pointing at the book: What is that book?
That's how I would say these phrases at any rate. I hope that helps.
