Ese/esa= That (masculine and feminine)

Quiero ese libro. I want that book!

Este/esta= This (masculine and feminine)

Me gusta esta computadora. I like this computer

Eso=That (abstract)

¿Qué fue eso? What was that? (assuming you just herd a noise or something...)

Esto= This (abstract)

Esto es extraño. This is weird. (This situation, what is happening)

Ello= It (abstract)

No quiero hablar de ello. I don't want to talk about it.
