hi Sham,
이/그/저 are articles which require noun to follow like a/an/the in English.
이거/그거/저거 are pronouns like it/that/she/he.
Ex) 이 사람 (this person), 그 사람 (the person), 저 사람 (that person)
이거 (this), 그거 (that), 저거 (that)
For more examples...
이 음식 먹어봐. (Try this food.)
이거 먹어봐. (Try this.)
저 사람 봐봐! (Look at that guy!)
저거 봐봐! (Look at that!)
그 종이에 적어. (Write down on that paper.)
그거에 적어. (Write down on that.)
Hope you got the point..

1. 이
It is used to indicate the person or thing that is closer to a speaker than a listener.
2. 그
It is used to indicate the person or thing that is closer to a listener than a speaker.
3. 저
It is used to indicate the person or thing that is distant from a listener or speaker.
4. –거
-거 is the colloquial of –것. This is dictionary definition.
이거, 저거, 그거 = 이것, 저것, 그것.
These have same meaning.
But sometimes, the postposition used after to them is different.
For example,
이거, 저거, 그거 + <<를>> ex)나는 이거를 한가운데로 옮겼다. I moved it to the center.
이것, 저것, 그것 + <<을>> ex)나는 이것을 한가운데로 옮겼다. I moved it to the center.
