DEMONSTRATIVE ADJECTIVES AND PRONOUNS When you point out specific things, you use

Demonstrative pronouns are used in place of demonstrative adjectives and are the same forms except with an accent.

EXAMPLES OF DEMONSTRATIVES Este libro es muy largo. This book is very long. Aquellos perros son muy ruidosos. Those dogs (over there) are very noisy. Quiero ésa. I want that one (apple).
There are also demonstrative pronouns that refer to ideas or unidentified things that don’t have a specific gender.
Esto es importante. ¿Qué es eso? ¿Qué es aquello?
Ordinal NumbersWhen you talk about the order of items, use ordinal
numbers. These are the first ten ordinal numbers.Primero(a) – FirstSegundo(a) – SecondTercero(a) – ThirdCuarto(a) – FourthQuinto(a) – FifthSexto(a) – SixthSéptimo(a) – SeventhOctavo(a) – EighthNoveno(a) – NinthDécimo(a) – Tenth
Ordinal Numbers (cont.)Ordinal numbers agree in number and
gender with the noun they describe. They are also placed before the noun.
Ex. segunda manzana, cuarto carroPrimero and Tercero drop the –o in front
of a masculine singular noun.Ex. primer año, tercer libroTo say last use último(a)To say second to last use penúltimo(a)
Estar + Prepositions of Location

For example: La carnicería está a la derecha de la farmacia.
The butcher shop is to the right of the pharmacy.

SUPERLATIVES Remember comparison statements? Ex. Yo soy más alto que mi hermano. Ex. A ella le gusta el bate menos que el
guante.
When you want to say that something has the most or least of a certain quality, use a superlative.
With a noun the superlative goes after the noun and matches in gender and number with that noun.
El más, La más, Los más, Las más
El menos, La menos, Los menos, Las menos
Ex. Luis es más alto que Jorge. Mario es más alto que Luis. Mario es el más alto. Jorge es el menos alto.
