Here is the breakdown of the correct grammatical choices for your sentences. Correct Sentences

  1. This frog is green but that frog is brown.
  2. Those ducks are yellow.

Grammar Explanation In English, demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) must match the number (singular or plural) of the noun they describe.

Type Singular (1 item)Plural (2+ items)
Near (close to you)ThisThese
Far (away from you)ThatThose

Why these choices were made:

  • This/That frog: The word "frog" is singular (one frog). Therefore, you must use the singular forms this or that. Using "these" or "those" would be incorrect because they require the plural "frogs."
  • Those ducks: The word "ducks" is plural (more than one). Therefore, you must use the plural form those. Additionally, the verb "are" confirms that the subject is plural.

Would you like me to create a few practice exercises so you can test your knowledge of these pronouns?
