Demonstrative Adjectives
Demonstrative adjectives (this, that) are used to indicate a specific noun or nouns. In Spanish, they must agree with the noun(s) in gender and number, and there are 3 different sets: este, ese, aquel.
Demonstratives are adjectives and pronouns that refer to or replace specific nouns, as in “this chair” and “that one.” Spanish has a lot more of them than English.
