このThis

この points to something near the speaker, like 'this' in English, and must be followed by a noun (e.g., この本 = 'this book'). それ, on the other hand, refers to something near the listener or recently mentioned, like 'that.' Unlike この, それ can be used on its own to mean 'that' or 'that thing.'

この refers to something near the speaker, like 'this' in English, and must be followed by a noun (e.g., この本 = 'this book'). あれ, on the other hand, refers to something far from both the speaker and listener, or something known to both but not nearby, similar to 'that.' Unlike この, あれ can be used on its own to mean 'that' or 'that thing.'

この refers to something physically or figuratively close to the speaker, similar to 'this' in English, and must directly precede a noun (e.g., この本 = 'this book').

これ and この both refer to things close to the speaker, like the English 'this.' これ is used by itself to mean 'this' or 'this thing.' この must be used with a noun, like in この本 ('this book'). In other words, これ stands alone, while この comes before a noun.
