That over there あれ・あの

This and that. Now we are on the THAT OVER THERE part.  So this THAT refers to objects not near the listener or the speaker.

あれ are - when "that" is not connected to a noun

あれ　は　何　です　か？
are wa nan desu ka?
What is that over there?

あれ　は　ねこ　です。
are wa neko desu.
That over there is a cat.

HINT
And now recognize A's mean That over there    

 

あの ano - When you put "that" before a noun, it changes to ano

あの ねこ　は　ポチ　です　か？
ano neko wa pochi desu ka?
Is that cat over there, Pochi?.

いいえ。　あの　くじら　は　ポチ　です。
iie ano kujira wa pochi desu.
No. That whale over there is Pochi.

HINT
Again they ALL are used in the same way.
