We use ‘that’s’ when we need a distant point to show a ‘far away’ theme but we use ‘it’ for the time/day/weather/Animal/baby/country (in singular case) etc. We use ‘to show which side to choose with a far away’ theme where the person “will be there”

To use ‘that’ before a noun, you cannot use ‘it’ after a noun. So the definition of this is wrong. What’s

  1. under a table is mine?

  2. It is my book under the table.

“That” in English signifies much at least in our basic sense. It is used to demonstrate something. In the first sentence you can’t use that because it’s not demonstrating but in your second sentence you demonstrate it using ‘right’.

Why the usage of example A for your name? The word refers to the whole assumption your name is Jim, which is implied by the question.
