Demonstrative Adjectives in Spanish

How many demonstrative adjectives in Spanish?

Let’s talk about the demonstrative adjectives in Spanish. Well, now that we have covered Past, Present and Future Tenses in Spanish we are ready for some easy and fun stuff. My theory always has been that you need first to understand these three basic tenses so you could communicate sooner and then learn some other useful things that we left behind. Today we are going to study The Demonstrative Adjectives which are used to point out people and objects. It is important to remember that a demonstrative adjective has to agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. ¡Listos! (Ready!)
