-Demostrative adjectives
INTRODUCTION
Demostrative adjectives
PURPOSE
Los adjetivos demostrativos se utilizan para determinar la posición de las cosas. En
español encontramos tres distintos grados de proximidad. Esto (para lo que está más
cerca del sujeto). Eso (situado a media distancia) y Aquello (lejano).
Example
Girl: I’d like to buy a tennis racket. Mine broke this week and I have an important
match this weekend. Why is this racket so much more expensive than those ones
on the wall?
Girl: I’ll take this one then. I had my first tennis lesson when I was five. That night I
dreamt of being a famous tennis player, and I’ve been playing ever since.
Use
Example:
Place:
Cuando los demostrativos se utilizan para señalar seres que se encuentran a una
cierta distancia física, this y these indican lo que está cerca del
orador: here; y that y those lo el orador no tiene al alcance de la mano: there.
