2 Los Adjetivos Demostrativos
You use demonstrative adjectives to: Point out people/things - example: I want this book *Demonstrative adjectives go BEFORE the noun they are describing. In Spanish, they must agree in gender and number with the noun. In English, we use this and these to describe things that are close. In English we use that and those to describe things that are far away.
