Demonstrative Adjectives Español II Sra. Chinchilla

There are three kinds of demonstrative adjectives in Spanish: One points out that something is near the speaker One points out that something is farther away from the speaker The last one points out that something is at a great distance (…over there) **Demonstrative Adjectives agree in number and gender with the noun that they modify.
