when using the word 'these' you are referring to the current topic of the conversation, or the main thing you are involved with.
for example:
*eating cupcakes* "these cupcakes are really good, can we take these to the bake sale"
you might say 'those' instead if you are not involved with the cupcakes.
for example, you are at a dinner party and there are some cupcakes at a table in the distance. They are really good, so you recommend them to your friend.
"why don't you try those cupcakes,
over at the far table"
i know in German you don't have this sort of thing, and it isn't really necessary. It's something you'll pick up on through using the language more.
'those' and 'the' are interchangeable but 'the' and 'these' are not always interchangeable.
