SPANISH 101 Chapter Notes - Chapter 5: Nios Embedded Processor, General Idea, People And Things
Document Summary
Demonstrative adjectives agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. English has two sets of demonstratives (this, these and that, those) Use este, esta, estos, estas when referring to people or things close to you in space or time. Use ese, esa, esos, esas when referring to people or things that are not relatively close to you. Sometimes they are close to the person you are addressing. Use aquel, aquella, aquellos, aquellas when referring to people or things more distant, or events in distant time. En aquello ocasi n, los ni os jugaron en el parque. On that occasion, the children played in the park. Demonstratives can be used as pronouns to mean this one/these or that one/those, thus avoiding repetition when speaking or writing. To refer to a general idea or concept, or to ask for identification of an object, use esto, eso, or aquello. They work a lot and that is good.
