2 You are already familiar with the concepts of adjectives as words used to modify a noun. In Spanish, adjectives that describe a noun usually go after it. These are called descriptive adjectives. Lleva un chaleco floreado. She is wearing a flowered vest.

3 However, demonstrative adjectives, those that are used to point out people or things that are nearby, go before a noun, and agrees with it in number and in gender. There are three types of demonstrative adjectives. These are:

4 Este/esta/estos/estas Ese/esa/esos/esas Aquel/aquella/aquellos/aquellas 1. 2. 3.

5 To point out things that are next to you, we use: este/esta/estos/estas. Este es mi bolso. (This is my purse.) Esta mochila es mía. (This backpack is mine.) _______ muchachos son mis alumnos. (These boys are my students.) Estos

6 Ese niño es bien educado. That boy is polite. _______ platos están sucios. Those plates are dirty. Esos ¿De quiénes son _______ muñecas? Whose dolls are those? esas To point out things that are farther away from you, we use: ese/esa/esos/esas.

7 To point out things that are very far away from you, we use: aquel/aquella/aquellos/aquellas. Aquella corbata es más elegante que ésta. That tie (over there) is more elegant than this one. Queremos comprar ______ mapa. We want to buy that map over there. aquel

8 Demonstrative pronouns are used to replace a demonstrative adjective + noun, when the meaning is understood in the sentence. Éste/éstos/ésta/éstas Ése/ésos/ésa/ésas Aquél/aquélla/aquéllos/aquéllas
