[Vocabulary] these round Harry Potter glasses

[englishhobby]

Can I use the following sentence to describe the person's glasses more precisely?
She wears these round Harry Potter glasses.

 

[GoesStation]

It's okay in conversational English.

 

[teechar]

... to describe the person's [STRIKE]gasses[/STRIKE] glasses

I take it that's what you meant. ;-)

 

[englishhobby]

I take it that's what you meant. ;-)

Thanks, corrected.

Why "these" and not "those"?

 

[Raymott]

It's the way we phrase these expressions.

 

[emsr2d2]

"Those" would be more natural in BrE unless the speaker was actually indicating a pair of glasses or a picture of them.

 

[Raymott]

I think it depends on the expression. We might be thinking of different things. In the following examples, the object/s aren't present.
"Be careful. He has these two large rottweilers." (not those)
"She's got this awful attitude." (not that)
