Word for either this or that

• #1

Hello everybody, I would like to know if there’s a correct order for the word «either» in these cases, for example:

«You either do this or that»
«Either you do this or that»

«You can go either by car or bus»
«You can go by either car or bus»

• #2

They’re all OK. Except that it’s always preferable to match what follows each element of a correlative construction like this:

Either you do this or you do that.
You do either this or that.
You either do this or do that.

This or That (otherwise known as Either Or Questions) is one of the most simple icebreaker games you can play during your next remote meeting. The rules are as follows; given option A or option B, the player has to choose the answer they prefer. Doesn’t get any simpler than that! We’ve even included a list of words below so you can get started right away. So you may be wondering, what’s the point of playing such a seemingly trivial game?

Why you should try this game

In the modern world, we have an abundance of choice. In fact, it’s estimated that the average adult makes about 35,000 conscious decisions each day. Ever find yourself staring at an endless aisle of cereal being overwhelmed by choice and unable to make a decision? That’s called analysis paralysis, and getting in the habit of it can really stunt our abilities to make judgement calls.

That’s the beauty of a game like This and That. By cutting down the amount of options, we engage the part of our brains responsible for making decisions. Well designed questions are interesting and novel — intended to take you by surprise. This is what makes This or That a great icebreaker game for your next remote meeting. It will prime your team’s minds for collaboration, brainstorming and decision making.

By cutting down the amount of options, we engage the part of our brains responsible for making decisions.

It’s also a great exercise in team building. By answering questions, players are simultaneous sharing their opinions and personalities with their team, all while having fun doing so!

How to play

There are two ways to play this game. Try them both and see which one you like better!

Ask and Discuss

Players are asked a This or That question and given time to answer and discuss their answers. Go around the team one by one and ask them each a different question from the list. Don’t let players get away with just answering, make them justify their decision!  The explanation aspect of this game mode is a fantastic way to build communication skills. This way of playing This or That is a great way to learn more about your team.

Rapid Fire

A single player is asked a series of questions in quick succession. Ask each player at least 7-10 questions a row, and make sure they are answered instantly! The aim of this game mode is to encourage the player to say the first thing that pops into their mind. You might even surprise yourself with your answer. If you’re looking for a way to wake your team up before a remote meeting or brainstorming session, this is a quick and fun way to get the brain juices flowing!

You found our list of the best this or that questions.

This or that questions are prompts that ask participants to choose one of two options. The topics are often funny but can be hard too. For example: “wine or beer?”, “city or countryside?”, “talking or listening?.” The purpose of these questions is usually to help adults break the ice, or serve as a quick and fun game for friends. These prompts are also known as “either or questions”, “a or b questions”, “make me choose between two things”, and the “pick one of two choices game.”

These questions are a type of question game and are similar to would you rather questions, what-if questions, yes or no questions, balance game questions and rapid-fire questions.

This and that в английском языке

В английской речи и в художественных текстах часто встречаются слова that и this. Разница между ними, безусловно, существует, но какая — для многих остается загадкой.

Сегодня мы рассмотрим не только употребление this и that, но и грамотное использование местоимений these и those. Разница между этими парами довольно существенна, и, понимая ее, вы никогда больше не будете путать между собой слова that, this, those и these.

This or that: правило употребления

This и that — это указательные местоимения.

This переводится как этот/эта/это.
That, соответственно, как тот/та/то.

И то, и другое местоимение указывает на ОДИН предмет (или лицо), разница между this и that состоит в том, что объекты, которые мы обозначаем этими местоимениями, находятся на разном расстоянии от говорящего.

This обозначает то, что находится рядом, неподалеку, близко.
That — то, что расположено вдалеке, удаленно от говорящего.

Например,
This cat is mine. Эта кошка — моя.
That cat is yours. Та кошка твоя.

“Кошка” — это слово в единственном числе. Выбор this или that зависит именно от того, ГДЕ конкретно находится эта кошка. Та, что лежит возле моих ног — this cat. Та, что далеко от меня — that cat.

Когда мы говорим об удаленности объекта, речь идет не только о пространстве (физическое местоположение объекта — далеко или близко от говорящего), но и о времени.

Например:
That was awesome! I had a wonderful time!
Это было великолепно! Я чудесно провел время!

Действие имело место в прошлом, рассказчик сейчас вспоминает о приятно проведенном времени и употребляет местоимение that. Обратите внимание, на русский мы скорее всего переведем that как “это”, а не как “то” — в силу особенностей стилистики русского языка. Для нас разница между “этот” и “тот” в данном контексте незначительна. Но она принципиальна для английского языка. Употребить this в этом случае будет ошибкой.

Таким образом, рассказывая об отдаленных по времени событиях (действиях в прошлом), мы используем местоимение that.

This и that в живой речи

Часто путают this и that в диалогах, например, в телефонном разговоре.

Если вы представляетесь в беседе, используйте this:
— Hello. This is Mary.

Если вы задаете вопрос, уточняете, кто с вами говорит, используйте that:
— Is that Julia?

Сравните:

— Is that George?
— No, this is Mike.

These и those: разница и употребление

Помимо this и that часто можно встретить еще одну пару указательных местоимений: these-those. Правило их употребления звучит так: если предметов много, а не один, мы меняем this на these, а that на those.

These — эти
Those — те

These cats are mine. Эти кошки — мои.
Those cats are yours. Те кошки — твои.

Как видно, оба местоимения those, these указывают на множество объектов (кошек несколько). В чем между ними разница? These и those, так же, как и пара this–that, обозначают предметы, которые находятся на разном расстоянии от говорящего.

These — предметы близко (эти)
Those — предметы далеко (те)

Таким образом, выбирая подходящее местоимение, мы всегда смотрим только на два аспекта:

1. Количество предметов/лиц (сколько — один или много)
2. Их удаленность от говорящего (здесь или там)

Пара this–these используется в случае, если предмет/предметы — рядом с говорящим. Пара that–those употребляется, если объект или объекты далеко от говорящего.

Произносим правильно: these or this

Вы наверняка сталкивались с тем, что в живой речи трудно услышать разницу между these и this. Поэтому их часто путают и в речи, и на письме. Оба местоимения произносятся похоже, и в разговоре не всегда можно уловить, что же все-таки прозвучало — these или this. Как произносить these и this правильно:

This произносится кратко, при этом s на конце звучит как “с”, глухо.
А вот these произносится с долгим звуком “и” (как в русском «НИИ»), а на конце звучит “з”, а не “с”.

Если вы сами будете правильно произносить эти местоимения, то и в чужой речи услышите между ними разницу.

Как правильно употреблять this, that, these, those в предложении

Указательные местоимения this/that/these/those могут употребляться вместе с существительным либо без него. Взгляните:

Без существительного:
This is your last chance to see him.
Это твой последний шанс повидаться с ним.

С существительным:
This meeting is your last chance to see him.
Это собрание — твой последний шанс повидаться с ним.

Если указательные местоимения стоят в начале предложения, и после них нет определяющего существительного, то, как правило, далее следует глагол to be в форме единственного или множественного числа:

This is / These are/ That is/ Those are

This is a cat. — Это кошка.
These are butterflies. — Это бабочки.
That is a train. — Это поезд.
Those are cucumbers. — Это огурцы.

И this, и that выполняют здесь функцию подлежащего и переводятся как “это”.

Указательные местоимения без существительных могут появляться в различных частях предложения:

Which trousers would you choose, these or those?
Какие брюки ты бы выбрал, эти или те?

What is that?
Что это там?

Если указательное местоимение предшествует существительному, его функция — указать на конкретный объект:

This cat has drunk our milk. — Эта кошка выпила наше молоко.
В данном случае местоимение this уточняет, что именно эта кошка, а не какая-то другая, выпила все молоко.

Любое из четырех указательных местоимений может сопровождаться существительным:

This flower smells great. — Этот цветок пахнет великолепно.
That man is very angry. — Тот человек очень злой.
These tickets cost too much. —Эти билеты стоят слишком дорого.
Those presents are from my friend. — Те подарки — от моих друзей.

Каверзный вопрос “Что это?”

Когда вы задаете вопрос “Что это?”, вы можете столкнуться с трудностью. Ведь, произнесенный по-русски, вопрос “Что это?” одинаково звучит, сколько бы объектов ни было и где бы они ни находились. Взгляните:

Из-за того, что по-русски вопрос во всех четырех ситуациях звучит одинаково, многие путаются, как же правильно спрашивать по-английски: “Что это?”.

Ориентируйтесь на удаленность объекта и количество объектов. Определили? Теперь выбирайте подходящее местоимение и соответствующую форму глагола to be.

Указательные местоимения и one

Иногда после указательных местоимений можно встретить слово one. А то и ones. Что это такое?

Случается, что для сохранения красоты речи нужно избежать повторения существительного. Например:

This T-shirt is too expensive. That T-shirt is cheaper.
Эта футболка слишком дорогая. Та футболка дешевле.

Повторение слова “футболка” здесь не оправдано. Зачем? В русской речи мы скорее сказали бы так: “Эта футболка слишком дорогая. Та — дешевле”. Каждому понятно, что “та” = “та футболка”.

В английском языке происходит нечто похожее. Так же, как и в русском, мы избавляемся от дубля слова T-shirt. Но если в русском языке можно оставить местоимение “та” в гордом одиночестве, то в английском мы должны подобрать для существительного заменитель. Эту функцию берет на себя слово one. Взгляните:

This T-shirt is too expensive. That one is cheaper.
Эта футболка слишком дорогая. Та дешевле.

Так как речь идет об одном предмете, мы использовали указательное местоимение в единственном числе — that. После местоимений that/this правило предписывает использовать слово one.

Если же мы говорим о множестве предметов и используем местоимения these и those, то в качестве замены существительного мы будем использовать ones.

These glasses are awful! Pass me those ones, please.
Эти очки ужасные. Передай мне те, пожалуйста.

Распространенная ошибка: не надо пытаться переводить one и ones. Ни как “один”, ни как “одни”, ни как-либо еще. В данном случае one/ones — это кирпичик, который позволяет грамотно строить предложение с точки зрения структуры, на русский язык ни one, ни ones в подобных предложениях не переводятся.

Теперь вы знаете, когда нужно использовать указательные местоимения this, that, these, those и можете грамотно строить свою речь. Читайте другие статьи Puzzle English и совершенствуйте свой английский!

I HAVE CHECKED MY NOTES AND PROOFREAD BEFORE SUBMITTING FOR MODERATION

Anglista,

We all understand why you wish to understand this well, for there is

no doubt that some of your better students are going to ask you

probing questions.

I am so happy that I read your post because I was able to find that

link and read CalifJim’s awesome explanation. I plan to use his

«rule,» and I’m sure that many other people would find his «rule»

hepful. It is so clear and exact. Just what I was looking for.

I recently did some research on this topic, and I should like to

pass it on to you because probably some clever student one day

will bring in some writing that does not follow CalifJim’s «rule,» and

you could be placed in an embarrassing situation.

This is what I have learned:

(a) Two very experienced English teachers (who are very active

in teaching English to speakers of other languages) told me that

there is no «hard and fast» rule. In other words, either «this» or

«that» could be considered «correct» — depending on your feeling

of how near something is («this») and how distant something is («that»).

(b) I read a complaint from an English teacher who said that many

people do not understand the difference. He explained:

The other day I told a friend that «Mr. X is doing a bad

job.» She replied, «This is what I have been telling you»

instead of «THAT is what I have been telling you.»

CalifJim’s rule: You use «that» at the beginning of your

comment about a situation presented by your conversation

partner.

(c) Finally, I have good news. According to A Comprehensive Grammar

of the English Language (written by Professor Randolph Quirk and

his colleagues), which some people consider the most authoritative

grammar available, sometimes there is no one «correct» answer.

Here are two examples:

An argument over [such and such a matter] broke out between them.

The/This/That argument finally put an end to their friendship.

An argument over [such and such] broke out between them, and

this/that finally put an end to their friendship.

Best of luck to you.

We use It, this, and that to refer back to something that was just mentioned, talked about, or written. However, they way we use them is different. For today’s English lesson, let’s have a look at how they are used in everyday English.

Here are the example sentences:
Listen to the podcast or the check the transcript for the details

Using “it”

• I went to Jack’s party last night. It was so much fun. It replaces “Jack’s party.”
• We are planning a trip to Asia. It will be about three weeks long. It replaces “a trip to Asia.”
• Have you ever seen Casablanca? It’s a great movie. It replaces “Casablanca.”

Compare these two sentences:

• I went to Jack’s party last night. It was so much fun.
• I went to Jack’s party last night. That was an amazing party. The food was great and everyone had a great time.

Using “this” or “that”

• We are planning a trip to Asia. This will be the first time for both of us to visit China, Japan and Korea.
• Have you ever seen Casablanca? That is probably one of the most classic films of the last century.
