이거 = this, this one 이거 points to an object next to you.
그거 = that
그거 indicates an object that is far from the speaker, but the listener is close to it.
저거 = that, over there 저거 indicates an object that is far away from both you and your listener.
Or the one that was mentioned earlier.
Examples:
이거 가방이에요. = This is a bag.

얼마 = How much?
얼마나 + adjective or adverb = How + (big, soon, often and etc)
Examples:

주세요 = Please, give me
