Grammar
"This is" or "It is"
Hello to everyone, can you explain me, when I have to use: "this is" and when I have to use "it is".
Could you give me a simple rule, how should I use this 2 articles(?) correctly.
Example:
1) This is a cat
2) It is a cat
Which of these two sentences are correct?
Kind regards,
Danl
