Hello.
As I was watching a movie, an actor, who probably had never been to the countryside before, was standing just in front a cow. He asks a man who have brought him there, 'Is that a cow?' (then murmuring, 'Much bigger in person' ).
My question is if 'that' can be replaced by 'this' (as the cow was standing just near him) or 'it'?
How would you say that if you were in the actor's place?
And another one, do the tense mixing I have used seems natural? Is it correct? If there any other mistakes in this post?
I would really appreciate your help with this.
Thank you in advance for your reply,
Alex.
