This/These: este, esta, estos, estas.

That/those: ese, esa, esos, esas.

That/those (far away): aquel, aquella, aquellos, aquellas

They change depending on number and gender of the noun they are describing.


Here is how my teacher made us remember: "This and these have the T's, that and those don't."

That little rhyme has always stuck with me and I never forget it!


So for your sentence, you need to figure out a few things:

  • Will you be using "this/these" or "that/those"? Hint: the presence of the word "aquí" will help you...
  • Now, what noun are you referring to? What is the gender of that noun? Is it plural or singular?
  • Pick the correct demonstrative adjective for the sentence! I know you can do it! wink
