This vs. These

Ok guys. I've seen this mistake one too many times! Let's learn it today and learn it forever...

this is singular. this computer, this folder, this cell phone

these is plural. these keys, these games, these medialunas (Forgive me, I'm hungry.)

And they sound different, too!

Listen: this

Listen: these

    am not good in English and I want to learn. Most of the time I got confused with the use of was and is, this and these, were and where and so on...

    Hope to see more blogs from you regarding these concerns.

    Thanks

      Thanks for reading Waly! I must admit my blog posts are quite random. I hope you can continue learning from them nevertheless!
