Demonstrative Pronouns:
Words like this and that not only function as adjectives in English, as in this hat or that tree, but can also be used as pronouns, such as You like this (one) and I like that (one).
There are also three neuter demonstrative pronouns that are used to refer to abstract concepts or unspecified objects. They’re also used when the speaker doesn’t necessarily have a specific noun in mind, so the gender in unknown.
| Pronoun | THIS (one) | THAT (one) | THAT (one) OVER THERE |
| Neutral | Esto | Eso | Aquello |
| Singular, masculine | Éste | Ése | Aquél |
| Singular, feminine | Ésta | Ésa | Aquélla |
| Plural, masculine | Éstes | Éses | Aquéllos |
| Plural, feminine | Éstas | Ésas | Aquéllas |
Direct Object and Indirect Object Pronouns:
These things are tricky! Look over them again in Class 12:

I have a question about demonstrative pronouns. For the masculine plurals, I understand that one should use estos and esos before masculine plural nouns. When one doesn’t state the actual noun, does that change to éstes and éses as your chart indicates?
Thanks.
Hola Adina,
Thanks for writing! In fact it’s the other way around, for masculine plural nouns use: éstes (these) and éses (those). If the noun is not stated and the gender is unknown, use the neutral form: estos (these) and esos (those).
Hi, I noticed in the lesson, it is said “estos zapatos”, not “estes zapatos”, why? here the noun “zapatos” is stated. shouldn’t it be “estes” ?
