Use of Spanish Demonstrative Adjectives
You may be confused by the fact that ‘this,’ ‘these,’ ‘that,’ and ‘those’ in Spanish look very similar to each other (este, esta, estos, estas, ese, esa, esos, esas). It can often be difficult for an English speaking person to remember which form is correct. Let's look at some examples below:
