1. To introduce family members using demonstrative pronouns.

This rule is about how to point out or introduce people in your family. In English, we change the word we use based on whether we are talking about one person or more than one person.

A. Using "This is" (For Singular)

We use "This is" when we want to introduce just one person. It means "هذا" for a boy/man or "هذه" for a girl/woman.

  • Use "This is" with:
    • Singular nouns (one person).
  • Examples:
    • This is my father.
    • This is my grandmother.
    • This is my baby brother.
    • This is my uncle.

B. Using "These are" (For Plural)

We use "These are" when we want to introduce more than one person. It means "هؤلاء".

  • Use "These are" with:
    • Plural nouns (more than one person).
  • Examples:
    • These are my parents.
    • These are my sisters.
    • These are my aunts.
    • These are my grandparents.
