Spanish Demonstrative Adjective Notes

Demonstrative Adjectives Demonstrative adjectives are those adjectives whose function is to point at something. In English, the singular demonstrative adjectives are "this" and "that," while their plurals are "these" and "those," respectively. Like English, Spanish has three sets of demonstrative adjectives, which vary by number and gender. In Spanish, the third set of demonstrative adjectives is 'Aquel'. This refers to something 'over there' or something a long time ago in the past. Demonstrative adjectives go before the nouns that they refer to: e.g. Me gusta este perro. (I like this dog.) or Voy a comprar ese coche. (I'm going to buy that car.)
