Pronouns - Pronombres

A demonstrative pronoun replaces a noun completely. For example:

Mi carro es mejor que aquél.
My car is better than that one.
(aquél = that one)

Estos perros son mejores que aquéllos.
These dogs are better than those.
(aquéllos = those)

This is different than demonstrative adjectives, which modify a noun (este carro = this car) by explaining which car you are talking about.

It is important to pronounce the demonstrative pronouns correctly. Practice saying them and pay special attention to the placement of the accents.
