What does THOSE mean in Scrabble?
pronoun
The plural form of that, used to point out people or things that are farther away, already mentioned, or being distinguished from something nearer.
Those singles out items at a distance from the speaker or already referred to earlier in a conversation, standing in direct contrast to these, which points to nearby or just-mentioned items. A speaker gesturing across a room might say those are mine, gathering distant objects into a single group under discussion. Writers also use those to refer back to a set of examples, people or points raised earlier in a passage, tying new comments to what came before. Because those always marks more than one item, English pairs it with that for the corresponding singular reference.
How THOSE is used
Used constantly in everyday speech and writing to point out several distant or previously mentioned people or things.
- Those mountains look much closer in the clear air.
- She kept those letters in a locked drawer.
- Those were the happiest years of his life.
- He returned those books to the library yesterday.
- Only those with tickets were allowed inside.
