   Hi Tim,

   Please, what’s the difference between:

   * How do you open this?
   * How do you open it?
   * How do you open that?

   Thanks again.

     Hi, Cassius. It just depends on the emphasis.

     If you are talking about something: How do you open it?
     If you are showing something near you: How do you open this (or it)?
     If the object is a little distant from you: Hoe do you open that?
