What is a demonstrative adjective? • Demonstratives help you to differentiate between items or people based on their proximity to the speaker or listener. • EJ: This pen. These pens. That pen. Those pens. • In English we have 4 demonstrative adjectives for distance and quantity.
What about Spanish? • Spanish also uses demonstratives. Based on what you already know about agreement in both quantity and gender, what can you guess about Spanish demonstratives??? • RIGHTY-O! There will be at least twice as many, because Spanish always recognizes gender of nouns.
¡A practicar!How would you say… • These pants • Estospantalones • That shirt • Esacamisa • Those wallets • Esascarteras • This belt • Este cinturón • That store • Esatienda • Heres a little rhyme to help you remember: • The one with the “T”, is closer to me! • Here’s another… • This and these, have the “T’s” • That and those… • don’t
But that’s not all… • In Spanish, there is one more set of demonstrative adjectives. • We use them for things that are equally far away from the speaker and the listener. • Think about that shirt you like way up high on the wall at Hollister.
