Demonstrative Adjectives


The demonstrative adjectives are:
Singular
this- este, esta
that- ese, esa
that one over there- aquel, aquella

Plural
these- estos, estas
those- esos, esas
those over there- aquellos, aquellas


All demonstrative adjectives come before the noun. They also agree with the noun in gender (masculine or feminine) and in number (sigular or plural).


When conjugating demonstrative adjectives you should ask yourself three questions.
1.) Distance? -near(est-), or far (es-)
2.) Gender? -masculine (-e or -o) or feminine (-a)
3.) Number? -singular or plural


For examples:
this cat- este gato
that towel- esa toalla
that store(over there)- aquella tienda
