Complete each sentence based on the cues in parentheses.

  1. No quiero ni (those) esos zapatos ni (those {over there}) aquellos.

  2. Me gusta mucho (this) esta bicicleta y también (that one {over there}) aquella que tiene Fernando.

  3. Compre (that) ese gato. Es más simpática y tranquilo que (this one) este.

  4. Es bueno tener (these) estos altoparlantes para el estéreo y (those) esos para la computadora.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Es bueno tener estos altoparlantes para el estéreo y ésos para la computadora.


Remember Sandy: if it's an adjective, without accent, if an adverb with accent. wink

Tildes on adverbs, I believe, are now optional aren't they?

  • The adverb 'solo' and the demonstrative pronouns will no longer require a tilde even in ambiguous cases. The use of tilde in these words becomes optional.
