nouns they modify.

"This Land Is Your Land " is one of the United States' most famous folk songs. Its lyrics were written by Woody Guthrie in 1940 based on an existing melody, in response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America ", which Guthrie considered unrealistic and complacent.

· Although both ese and aquel and their related forms can be translated as "that" or "those," there are some distinctions in meaning. · Ese and its related forms are more common, and you're generally safe to use them when in English you'd use "that" or "those." · However, aquel and its related forms refer to something that's farther away in terms of distance or time. Although ese and its forms can be used for an object near the speaker or listener, aquel cannot.
