In this exercise we have to correctly use the demonstrative adjectives in Spanish.

In this sense, the demonstrative adjectives are those words that accompany the noun to mark the distance that separates the speaker from the object, place or person to which they refer. In addition, they agree in gender and number with the noun they modify.  

The three demonstrative adjectives are:  

- Este (This): It describes a noun that is close to the speaker and the listener.  

-Ese (That): It points out nouns that are further from the speaker and not easily reachable. The noun may be close to the listener, but not the speaker.  

-Aquel (That over there): It is referred to nouns that are far away from both the speaker and the listener.  

In additon, each one has four different forms that vary by gender and number, and they are listed below:  

Este  

Masculine Singular: Este (This)  

Feminine Singular: Esta (This)

Masculine Plural: Estos (These)  

Feminine Plural: Estas (These)  

Ese

Masculine Singular: Ese (That)  

Feminine Singular: Esa (That)  

Masculine Plural: Esos (Those)  

Feminine Plural: Esas (Those)  

Aquel  

Masculine Singular: Aquel (That over there)  

Feminine Singular: Aquella (That over there)  

Masculine Plural: Aquellos (Those over there)  

Feminine Plural: Aquellas (Those over there)  

Note, in Spanish (similar to English) the Demonstrative Adjective is generally written before the noun it modifies.

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers!:

1. No me gusta esta falda. Prefiero (that one) esa

2. Voy a comprar (these) estos pantalones verdes.

3. ¿Dónde compraste (that) ese abrigo?  

4. ¿Viste a (those over there) aquellas chicas?

5. Tú compras esa camisa y yo compro (this one) esta.

6. ¿Cuáles prefieres, los zapatos marrones o (those over there) aquellos negros?  

7. Carlos me compró aquel sombrero, pero prefiero usar (this one) este.

8. ¿Cuánto cuesta (this) esta camisa azul con rayas rojas?  

9. ¿Vas a gastar dinero en (those over there) aquellas botas rojas?  

10. ¡Ricardo, (those) esos calcetines no hacen juego! Ponte éstos.
