易错句子I bought that books yesterday.
正确表达I bought those books yesterday.
that 作定语修饰名词时必须与名词的数一致：只能接单数可数名词或不可数名词，修饰复数名词要用 those。汉语的“那”不分单复数，所以容易直接套用成 that books。

易错句子That dog is a loyal animal.
正确表达The dog is a loyal animal.
that 用于特指，指双方都能确认的具体对象；泛指一整类人或物时，英语用 the/a + 单数名词（或直接用复数名词），不能用 that。汉语“那种狗很忠诚”这类泛称不能直译成 that dog。
两者都是指示限定词，区别在于距离：this 指离说话人较近或眼下正涉及的人或事物，that 指较远或已经提到过的。指心理上觉得亲近的内容时也常用 this。
that 后面接单数名词或不可数名词，those 只能接复数名词；指近处的复数则用 these。所以修饰复数名词时不能换成 that。
the 只说明听话人知道指的是哪一个，本身不带指点意味；that 则有指示、对比的作用，常与 this 相对，强调远近或区分。
