This is used to indicate something near (as opposed to that): this pumpkin is smaller than that one.

These is the plural of 'this': these pumpkins will be carved for Halloween.

That is used to indicate something further away (as opposed to 'this'): that pumpkin over there is enormous.

Those is the plural of 'that': those pumpkins are used for decoration.
