Grammar in focus · los demostrativos

Demonstratives point to things and agree with the noun. For things near you (this/these): este (m. sg.), esta (f. sg.), estos (m. pl.), estas (f. pl.) — 'esta camiseta', 'estos zapatos'. For things a bit further away (that/those): ese, esa, esos, esas. Colours are adjectives and agree too: rojo → roja → rojos → rojas; a camiseta roja, unos pantalones rojos. Colours ending in -e or a consonant don't change for gender: azul, verde, gris — 'una chaqueta azul', 'unos zapatos azules'.

Write it yourself

Write 2–3 sentences describing clothes you like, with colours and demonstratives.
