Ders özeti:
Bugünkü mini gramer konusu çok basit: yakın bir şey için this, uzakta olan bir şey için that kullanırız. Ayrıca near, far ve here kelimelerini de öğreniyoruz. Bu ders, günlük İngilizcede bir nesneyi işaret ederken çok işe yarar.

Kelime kelime açıklama:
- this (this) = bu, yakın bir şey
- that (that) = şu, daha uzakta bir şey
- near (neer) = yakın
- far (faar) = uzak, yakın değil
- here (heer) = burada

Okunuş notu:
Okunuşlar yaklaşık verilmiştir. Türkçe konuşanlar için this = “dis”, that = “det” gibi duyulabilir; near = “niır”, far = “faar”, here = “hiır”.

Cümle cümle açıklama:
1) This cup is near me.
- Okunuş: this kup iz neer mee
- Anlamı: Bu kupa bana yakın.
- Kullanım: Yakındaki tek bir nesneyi anlatır. this + tekil isim çok yaygındır.

2) That tree is far away.
- Okunuş: that tri iz faar ı-vey
- Anlamı: Şu ağaç uzakta.
- Kullanım: Uzakta olan tek bir nesne için that kullanılır.

3) This is my pen.
- Okunuş: this iz may pen
- Anlamı: Bu benim kalemim.
- Kullanım: Nesneye işaret ederken this çok doğal bir seçimdir.

4) That is your seat.
- Okunuş: that iz yor sit
- Anlamı: Şu senin yerin.

5) Here is the door.
- Okunuş: hiır iz dı door
- Anlamı: İşte kapı.
- Kullanım: Here, bir yeri gösterirken veya bir şeyi işaret ederken kullanılır.

Doğal kullanım notları:
- this yakın olan tek bir şey içindir.
- that uzak olan tek bir şey içindir.
- near ve far mesafe bildirir.
- here, “burada” anlamı verir ve bir şeyi gösterirken çok kullanılır.

Yaygın hata notları:
- Yakında olan şey için that kullanmayın.
- Uzakta olan şey için this kullanmayın.
- near ve far kelimelerini karıştırmayın: near = yakın, far = uzak.
- here kelimesi “burada” demektir; “orada” anlamı vermez.

Mini alıştırma yönergesi:
- Boşluklara this, that, near, far veya here yazın.
- Cevaplarınızı kısa bir mesaj olarak gönderin.
- İsterseniz kendi çevrenizden iki örnek cümle de yazın.
