Hello :) , I just wanted to know when do we use あれ and あの and あそこ; これ and この ? But one difference I just found out that これ is placed before は but この is not.
Oh ok
, thank you , I appreciate for your time :) , but I still didn't understand why with 'kore' we use wa . 
And what about あれ and あの and あそこ

You still can use は with この. as in my example この猫は. you just can't use it directly after この as something has to follow it. あれ and あの follow the same rules as これ and この.
あそこ is the not close to speaker and listener equivalent to ここ and そこ and follows the same rules as these 2. Here you can also use は.
Here is stuff i'm not 100% sure: It might be that は is used less often with the あ- words and that's why they teach that you can't use it, just to simplify it. And maybe it would sound strange if used with は but you can use it

Thank you Man! 
これ (and all the other ~れ words) is a demonstrative pronoun. It replaces the subject matter, thus functions as a subject/topic, and は is the topic marker. On a side note, これ can be used with other particles, too.
この (and the other ~の words) is a demonstrative adjective.
Both words translate to "this", but even in English there's a difference
- This is a cat. (pronoun)
- this cat (adjective)
The ~こ words can be used as nouns, adverbs or adjectives and refer to location.
ここは私の家です。- Here (=This place) is my house. (noun)
そこで会いましょう。- Let's meet there. (adverb)
あそこの男 - that dude over there (adjective)
Oh I get it now 
Thank you for the clarification
For example, take me as a foreigner and I went to Japan. The sentences which I learn are in -Masu form and there are other form of the sentences like the "te" form. So, speaking to someone there or maybe just asking help , when should we use the -Masu form and the te form.
I mean that what is the need for the 'te' form?
