Re: it vs this vs that

It would take pages and pages to explain the differences, and the uses of each.

Perhaps you could give two sentences using 'this' and 'that' and say why they confuse you.

Re: it vs this vs that

this is an amazing.
that's an amazing .
it's an amazing.
whats the difference ?

Re: it vs this vs that

Let’s make them into full sentences:

This is an amazing picture.
That is an amazing picture.

Now, in Grammar Monster, there is an introduction to 'this/that'. Read the information there, and let me know.

Re: it vs this vs that

got it .. thanks ..
can we say "its an amazing picture" ?

Re: it vs this vs that

When we say, "its an amazing picture", we have used a contraction of 'it is',

We show that by writing:
it's an amazing picture

Notice that " it's " has an apostrophe.

" its " is what we use - just like, 'his, her" - to show possession:
The dog was wagging its tail.
