DEMONSTRATIVE
ADJECTIVES
This/that/these/those
 WHAT ARE THEY?
They fit into the category of determinative adjectives or determiners,
these type of adjectives, like any other adjective, are used to give us
information about a subject (noun or pronoun); in this case, they
determine/individualize a particular object or group of objects from
another object or group objects. These adjectives are:
This-esto/este/esta. (Singular)
That-eso/ese/esa/aquello/aquella/aquel. (Singular)
These-estos/estas. (Plural)
Those-esos/esas/aquellos/aquellas. (Plural)
 THEIR USE
Demonstrative adjectives can also be used to show the position of a
subject in a particular space or time in relation to yours. In their singular
form, we use: this (when something is near us) and that (when
something is far away from us), and in their plural form we use: these
(when a group of objects is near us) and those (when a group of objects
is far away from us). In spanish it would look like this:
This dog- este perro.
That dog- ese/aquel perro.
These dogs- estos perros.
Those dogs- esos/aquellos perros.
 THEIR STRUCTURE
As you could probably tell, we always place the demonstrative before
our subject (who or what we’re talking about) . Their structure in
sentences may vary, but you could usually find them like this:
(Demonstrative)+(Subject)+(Verb)+(Object).
For example:
This house is very pretty.
Ésta casa es muy bonita.
Or in quick phrases, all you need to remember is that we always place
the demonstrative goes before the subject:
This pencil;
This pen;
etc.
 EXAMPLES

 ACTIVITY
A beginning english redactor has sent me
three different letters in which he uses only
long names instead of pronouns and names;
this has made his text appear redundant and
unnecessarily long. Please help me substitute
these names with their corresponding
pronouns.
 LETTER #1
Mrs. Mary Schopenhauer has ten
pencils, Mrs. Mary Schopenhauer has six
crayons, Mrs. Mary Schopenhauer has
five pens and Mrs. Mary Schopenhauer
also has four erasers. I think that’s about
it.
 LETTER #2
Mr. Joseph Roberts has many pets: Mr.
Joseph Roberts has three dogs, Mr.
Joseph Roberts has five cats, Mr. Joseph
Roberts has one parakeet, Mr. Joseph
Roberts has two axolotls and Mr. Joseph
Roberts also has one gold fish.
 LETTER #3

known each other since kindergarten.
 LETTER #1 (REVISED)
Mrs. Mary Schopenhauer has ten
pencils, she has six crayons, she has five

think that’s about it.
 LETTER #2 (REVISED)

has three dogs, he has five cats, he has
one parakeet, he has two axolotls and he
also has one gold fish.
 LETTER #3 (REVISED)
Billy Johnson and I are very good friends:
we like to play soccer, we like to play
basketball and we like to play golf on
Sundays. We have known each other
since kindergarten.
THE VERB TO BE
To be or not to be.
 WHAT IS IT?
The verb “be” has many practical uses, but,
basically, it indicates characteristics, location
in space-time, etc.
Let’s look at some basic practical uses of it!
ATTRIBUTES

He IS angry.
 ATTRIBUTES

She IS happy.
 LOCATION
Joseph is in New York
LOCATION

You are in ECCU.

PERSONAL PRONOUNS TO BE FORM
Pronombres personales Forma del verbo to be según el pronombre correspondiente

I (Yo) Am (Soy/estoy/tengo)
You (Tú) Are (Eres/estás/tienes)
He (Él) Is (Es/está/tiene)
She (Ella) Is (Es/está/tiene)
It (Eso) Is (Es/está/tiene)
We (Nosotros) Are (Somos/estamos/tenemos)
You (Ustedes) Are (Son/están/tienen)
They (Ellos) Are (Son/están/tienen)
 ITS STRUCTURE
Do you rember the last structure i gave you? The one that goes:
(Subject)+(Verb)+(Object)
Well, we use that very same one here. For example, a sentence with the
verb to be, following that structure, may look like this:
I am very pretty.
Yo soy muy bonito.
or
He is really handsome.
Él es realment guapo.
So the structure is:
(Subject)+(Verb be)+(Complements)
I
 EXAMPLES
Yo tengo frío.
En inglés sería:

I am cold.
Yo soy inteligente
En inglés sería:

I am smart.
Yo estoy loco.
En inglés sería:

I am crazy.
 EXERCISES
1-Nosotros estamos felices. 5-Tú eres guapo
(____) (____) happy. (____) (____) handsome.
2-Ellos tienen frío. 6-Ustedes son mis amigos.
(____) (____) cold. (____) (____) my friends.
3-Él es un estudiante. 7-Yo soy alto.

LIKE/DISLIKE
What do you like?
 THE PHRASE: “I LIKE”
It is compossed of two parts: the pronoun
(subject) I (yo) and the verb like (gustar/gustan);
together they make: I like (A mí me gusta(n)).
Sentences with this clause would look like this:
I like tomatoes.
A mí me gustan los tomates.
 ITS NEGATIVE FORM
And to indicate that we dislike something, we add
the verb do and the, in this case, adverb not to
the clause i like; making the sentence: I do not
like. For example:
I do not like apples.
A mí no me gustan las manzanas.
We may also contract it, and say: I don’t like.
 ACTIVITY
Now, with the worksheets i
gave you, we’re gonna
make three sentences with
the phrase: i like, and
another three sentences
with the phrase: i don’t like.
PREPOSITIONS
of place
 WHAT ARE THEY?
There are many types of prepositions; but, esentially, they
are words that we use to link nouns and pronouns to other
words in a sentence. For example:
Jack is inside the house.
Jack está adentro de la casa.
The preposition inside links the verb is to the noun -in this
case noun phrase- house; this helps us understand where
Jack is.

THERE IS/THERE ARE
Signal an object or group of objects.
 THERE IS/THERE ARE
We use these phrases (There is/there are) to signal a particular a object, and
indicate that they exist. In this case, this phrase is compossed of two words:
there whose most similar spanish equivalent would be the word ahí, and the
verb be is or are, which in this case is used to refer that something exists; so
its equivalent would be the verb hay/haber: its most lliteral translation would
be: ahí hay, but itś also validly interpreted as the word hay. So for example, a
sentence with it would look like this:
There is a pencil on the desk.
Hay una pluma en el escritorio.
The there is form is used to indicate singulars, and the there are form is used
to indicate plurals. For example:
There is one book under the couch.
There are five books on the table.
Can you tell the difference?
 A/AN
Other words we’ll be using are the articles: a and an. We use them to
indicate a singular object. For example:
A house.
Una casa. (its equivalent in spanish is the word “una” or “un”)
These word has the variant an, we use a when the word starts with a
consonant sound (a house, a dog, a car, etc.), and we use an when the
word starts with a vowel sound (an apple, an hour, an engineer,etc.).
This is important to know because we use them to signal objects like we
do with the word there.
 THERE IS/THERE ARE
Their structure:
We’ve already analized basic sentence structure in english, and we know
it looks a little bit like this:
(Subject)+(Verb)+(Object).
And when we use the phrases there is and there are, they may look like
this:
(There)+(Verb be form)+(Article or numeral adjective)+(Subject)+
(Preposition)+(Object).
Following this structure, it may look like this:
There is a kid under my bed.
Hay un niño debajo de mi cama.
Hang on to this structure ‘cause we’re gonna use it again soon.
