Difference Between These and Those

These and Those are somewhat similar to this and that. We can say that these and those are the plurals versions of this and that used in the sentences. Both terms are used as pronouns in the sentence. Pronouns are the words used in place of nouns in the sentence. Some of the pronouns are I, he, him, you, we, him, her, yours, theirs, these, those, and many more.

• I called you yesterday.

These is used to indicate the object that is nearby and this also indicates the same but in the singular version. 

For Example,

• This is my laptop. 
• These are my laptops.

Both sentences indicate the same meaning but the only difference is that the former sentence is indicating about one laptop and the latter sentence is indicating more than 1 laptop.

Also, These can be used when talking about the present time. For example, These days young people talk very loudly.

Meaning and Usage of Those
