"Ce", "Cet", "Cette", "Ces" are followed by a noun. => "This ...", "That...". For "C'est" => "These", "Those"
"ça", "cela" not followed by a noun. (ça = non formal, cela = formal) => meaning "that" "it"
"C'est" (contraction of "ce" and "est") => meaning "That is", "This is"

C'est can also mean "he is" or "she is" depending on the context
