Kiwi asks…

Does the phrase "and this" in this sentence refers to specific objects? Or just general ideas?


Answer from a Native speaker

teacher

Rebecca

The "and this" in this specific case, is referring to the images showing in the video at that point in time. It is not a structured phrase like an idiom or an expression. It is simply a conjunction "and" with a demonstrative. "This" is a demonstrative. We use "this" to point to people and things. Ex: What’s in this box? Ex: This water tastes strange. Though "this" can be used to refer to things or ideas, that's not the case here.
