esa, ese, este esta, esto....??

Question

Sometimes I don't know which one is the right word to use. I don't understand the difference between "este" and "esto".... Can I say "estos"? "estes"?

How do i ask "are these the right ones?"

I hope you can help me

Thanks !

Answer 1

Normally I would ask that you inform us whether you are inquiring about demonstrative adjectives or demonstrative pronouns (since accent marks are no longer required), but since you included esto in your list I am going to assume that your question covers demonstrative pronouns.

(Note: Some Spanish grammarians recommend against using accents on the demonstrative pronouns unless they are needed to prevent ambiguity. However, they are used more often than not, and you're probably best off to use them unless you're told in some context not to.)
