In English you say here or there, but in Spanish you say, here, there, or far away. Demonstrative adjectives agree in gender and in number. Demonstrative adjectives do not have any accents.

THE ONE… A demonstrative pronoun is basically the same as a demonstrative adjective but is used to replace a noun rather than modify it. If the noun is understood, you must use a demonstrative pronoun rather than a demonstrative adjective. Demonstrative pronouns and demonstrative adjectives are so similar that you can't hear the difference in spoken Spanish. The only difference between them is a written accent mark to differentiate the parts of speech.
