"Here" or "there" are often used in addition to "this", "that", "these", or "those". "This" and "these" are used with "here" to indicate that something is close to the speaker. "That" and "those" are used with "there" to indicate that something is away from the speaker. Oftentimes "there" is used as "over there" to further explain that the object they are referring to is far away from the speaker.
