It/This/That, Here/There

[Mary Bright]

Actually, I know the difference between them. The thing I want to ask about is whether there's a difference between here/there as well as this/that/it in colloquial speech. Ex.:

I know this
I know that
I know it

The house is here
The house is there

Isn't it hard sometimes to say precisely what is where?

Thank you

It's not always clear- a lot depends on the view of the speaker and the context.

I thought so. Thank you

Distance can be physical/social/temporal or other.
