[Grammar] What's this? What is it?

[Ricky Leboy]

Hi guys! I have a question for you.


My colleague made a video for our kids about the questions " What's this?" and "What are these?"


In his reply he says: It's a hat. It's a door.
But for me, I think it's better grammar to answer: "This is a hat, this is a door." If the question would be: "What is it?" That would be correct to answer: "It's a hat, it's a door".


What do you think?


Thanks in advance!

If you're answering the second question, which is the one that works better with more than one thing, something like This is a hat and that is a door work better for me.
