Words like ?this? and ?that? are important to know. The Spanish forms of these words vary according to whether the item is masculine or feminine and whether you are pointing at one item or more than one.

This and These

this book---------este libro______________these books-------estos libros
this house--------esta casa_______________these houses------estas casas

There are two words for ?this? (este, esta) and two words for ?these? (estos, estas) depending on whether the nouns are masculine or feminine.

That and Those

that book-------ese libro__________those books--------eso libros
that house------esa casa___________those houses------esas casas

Again we have four possibilities (ese, esa, esos, esas). The story should end here, but it doesn?t. In Spanish there are four more ways of saying that and those.

That and Those?? at a distance

that book (far away) aquel libro________those books-------aquellos libros
that house -------aquel casa____________those houses------aquellas casas
