In this exercise, you should write the appropriate demonstative adjective. You should use either:
– *este/esta/esto – this* and *estos/estas – these* to refer to things that are **near (cerca)**
– *ese/esa/eso – that* and *esos/esas – those* to refer to things that are **far (lejos)**
– *aquel/aquella/aquello – that over there* and aquellos/aquellas – those over there* to refer to things that are **very far (muy lejos)**

**N.B.** Remember that demonstration adjectives match with the noun in number and gender.

1. (cerca – near)

– …**estos** aretes de plata.
*(I bought these silver earrings.)*

*”Aretes”* is a masculine noun in plural, so the demonstrative adjective has *”-os*” at the end.

*”Estos”* implies the souvenirs are near.

2. (muy lejos – very far)

– …**aquellos** collares que tú quires.
*(My friends saw those necklaces that you want.)*

*”Collares”* is a masculine noun in plural, therefore, the demonstrative adjective has *”-os*” at the end.

*”Aquellos”* means that the necklaces are very far.

3. (lejos – far)

– …**esos** recuerdos muy baratos.
*(You bought those really cheap souvenirs.)*

*”Recuerdos”* is a masculine noun in plural, therefore, the demonstrative adjective has *”-os*” at the end.

*”Esos”* implies the souvenirs are far.

4. (lejos -far)

– …**esas** artesanías muy bonitas.
*(I saw those really nice handicrafts.)*

*”Artesanías”* is a feminine noun in plural, so the demonstrative adjective has *”-as*” at the end.

*”Esas”* means that the handicrafts are far.

5. (cerca – near)
