Hi Jeezle,

If you need help remembering the forms of the demonstrative adjectives don't forget that there is also a great reference section here that succinctly covers these topics.

Also don't confuse the masculine forms of demonstrative adjectives/pronouns (which take the -e ending) with the neuter form of demonstrative pronouns (which take the -o ending). I have often been guilty of this in the past before I finally drilled and drilled and drilled and drilled and...it into my head.

In any case, here's a link to the related reference articles in case you are interested:

Answer 3

"Ese día"....

But your sentence should be:

"Desde ese día he tratado de estar alegre pero.....sin ella..... ya no sé cómo hacerlo".
