1. Demonstrative Adjectives
What are "Demonstrative
Adjectives"?
Words used to point out a noun.
Demonstrative adjectives are those adjectives whose
function is to point at something. In English, the singular
demonstrative adjectives are "this" and "that," while
the plural ones are "these" and "those." (Some
grammarians refer to them as demonstrative
determiners.)

3. In English, there are 4 demonstrative adjectives.
This/That + Singular Noun
In
These/Those + Plural Noun

4. Unlike English, Spanish has three sets of demonstrative adjectives,
which vary by number and gender, so there are 12 in all, as shown in
the list below. Translations are included in parentheses
Singular masculine Plural masculine
· este (this) · estos (these)
· ·
· ese (that) · esos (those)

· aquel (that - over there) · aquellos (those - over there)
Singular feminine Plural feminine
· esta (this) · estas (these)

5. In Spanish, all demonstrative
adjectives are placed before
the noun.
Like all other adjectives in Spanish they
must agree in gender and number with the
nouns they modify.

22. Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream
waters
This land was made for you and me.
------- tierra --- ---- tierra, ------- tierra ---- ----- tierra
Desde California hasta la isla de Nueva York
Desde el bosque de secuoyas a las aguas de la
Corriente del Golfo
------ tierra fue hecha para ti y para mí.

23. "This Land Is Your Land " is one of the United States' most famous folk songs . Its lyrics were written by Woody
Guthrie in 1940 based on an existing melody, in response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America ", which Guthrie
considered unrealistic and complacent.

24. · Although both ese and aquel and their
related forms can be translated as
"that" or "those," there are some
distinctions in meaning.
· Ese and its related forms are more
common, and you're generally safe to
use them when in English you'd use
"that" or "those."
· However, aquel and its related forms
refer to something that's farther away
in terms of distance or time. Although
ese and its forms can be used for an
object near the speaker or listener,
aquel cannot.
