"Este" and "Estos" are used for near objects, for example, something in your hand or in a place near to you (a table in front of you).

Example:

Tu: Tengo tos

Farmaceutico ¿Quieres "este" jarabe? (in the hand of the pharmacist)

"Ese" or "esos" are used for not to near and not to far, and "aquel" or "aquellos" are for far objects, for example, in a rack in the back wall.

Quieres estas aspirinas de marca genericao (Blank answer) de marca conocida- what does this sentence mean in english I think that is why I am having such a hard time - Taalexander, Sep 28, 2014
Do you want this aspirin from generic brand or this another from a known brand? - lrhlpz, Sep 28, 2014
Ok thanks very much also if you don't mind I also am a little confused with the verb doler. Say for instance if subject is Ellos does it become se duele, le duele, se duelen or le duelen. Im confused on this too - Taalexander, Sep 28, 2014
For "Ellos" is "les duelen" for example: "A ellos también les duelen los pies". "Les" instead "le", because "ellos" is plural (the "s" at the end). - lrhlpz, Sep 28, 2014
Thanks and will the same thing apply for nostros since nostros is we will it be nos duelen or nos duele - Taalexander, Sep 28, 2014
