Demonstrative Pronouns by Miguel

0:d1

In Spanish, the world is divided into three groups (not two like English) este/estos/... (with plurals and accented forms), which refer to things close to a speaker, ese/esos/..., which refer to things close or relating to a person spoken to, and aquel/aquellos/..., which refer to things far from both.

The only difference between the demonstrative adjectives and pronouns is that the demonstrative pronouns have a written accent over the e: éste, ése, aquél, etc.

The neuter demonstrative pronouns have no number, no gender, and no written accent. They are used when there is no specific reference to a noun:

Me gusta esto/I like this.
Ésta es la casa que me gusta/This one is the house that I like.


Other demonstrative pronouns:


Tal (es)/Such.

¿Por qué has hecho tal cosa?/Why have you done such a thing?


Ninguno (a)/None.

Ninguno de ellos quiere come./None of them want to eat.
