Yes, you can! We often use "that" to ask about people who are far away, or when we hear someone but can't see them (e.g., "Is that you, John?"). Good question! group

We use "this" for things that are close in *time*, not just distance! "This morning" is close to now (today). We use "that morning" to talk about a day far in the past. hourglass_empty
