The one rule that I found somewhere states to use "that" when the writer is simply referring backwards to make reference to a previously stated idea, but to use "this" when the writer is referring to a previously stated idea and making a new statement about the idea.

I don't know if that is the correct rule, though. If it is, then I think the correct usage for the above sentence is "this" because the sentence refers back to the concept and says something new about it: it is not a problem. But I'm not really sure and I hope we can get an answer.]]> Friedrich Pronouns & Determiners Wed, 24 Mar 2010 14:58:31 +0800 http://www.grammargrabber.com/forum/read.php?4,6,6#msg-6 http://www.grammargrabber.com/forum/read.php?4,6,6#msg-6
Yesterday, we got a new student and he's having trouble fitting in. That is not the problem, though.

Yesterday, we got a new student and he's having trouble fittingin. This is not the problem, though.

Such choices of this/that often confuse me. I need help. Does anyone know which is correct and why?
