2 D EMONSTRATIVE A DJECTIVES AND P RONOUNS When you point out specific things, you use demonstrative adjectives and pronouns. A demonstrative adjective describes the location of a noun in relation to a person. Demonstrative pronouns are used in place of demonstrative adjectives and are the same forms except with an accent.

6 Ordinal Numbers When you talk about the order of items, use ordinal numbers. These are the first ten ordinal numbers. Primero(a) – First Segundo(a) – Second Tercero(a) – Third Cuarto(a) – Fourth Quinto(a) – Fifth Sexto(a) – Sixth Séptimo(a) – Seventh Octavo(a) – Eighth Noveno(a) – Ninth Décimo(a) – Tenth

7 Ordinal Numbers (cont.) Ordinal numbers agree in number and gender with the noun they describe. They are also placed before the noun. Ex. segunda manzana, cuarto carro Primero and Tercero drop the –o in front of a masculine singular noun. Ex. primer año, tercer libro To say last use último(a) To say second to last use penúltimo(a)
