Demonstrative Adjectives

• Español II

There are three kinds of demonstrative adjectives
in Spanish

• One points out that something is near the speaker
• One points out that something is farther away
  from the speaker
• The last one points out that something is at a
  great distance (over there)

Demonstrative Adjectives agree in number and
gender with the noun that they modify.
