The second part:
Dieser, Diese, Dieses is way more tricky first of all you have to know that these are demonstrative pronouns which means they each also belong to one gender.
So for example,
Der Baum, Dieser Baum
Die Katze, Diese Kate
Das Spiel, Dieses Spiel
I would suggest you memorize the endings "r," e," s."
So Das and Dieses have both "s" at ending.
Die and Diese have both "e" at the ending
and Der, and Dieser also have both "r" at ending.
So by doing this, you have the right one at the right place.
So to use that in sentences.
Kannst du mir bitte das Brot geben? Can you give please give me the bread?
Gib mir bitte dieses Brot! Give me please that bread!
So the first sentence was not a specific bread, I asked for the bread, and you would hand me whatever one you find handy over.But the second question was a specific bread.
So If you say Gib mir bitte das Brot and point on a specific one like you would see in bakery windows. The sentence would be wrong cause you have to use hand gesture or head nodding to make it a specific one.
So that same goes for the other ones :)
Hope that was helpful.

I will do this in two parts because the second one is way more tricky and I don't want you to get confused:
Hello Katha,
"The" would cover Der, Das, Die.
"Der" is the He form of "The"
"Das" is the It form of "The"
"Die" is the She form of "The" and also the plural form.
Basically what happens is that we Germans give the article a gender to speak frankly.
So, for example:
Der Baum, The tree.
Die Katze, The cat
Das Spiel, The game
