Este/esta/estos/estas point to nouns that are close, ese/esa/esos/esas point to nouns that are not close in space or time but may be close to the listener, and aquel/aquella/aquellos/aquellas point to nouns that are far away from both the speaker and listener. Demonstrative pronouns follow the same patterns as adjectives except with an accent mark. There are also three neuter pronouns esto, eso, and aquello that do not change

Grammatical categories and word classes
This work examines some of the grammatical categories of modern English, and it presents a classification of words according to their category and function.
Definition of english grammar
Grammar is the science that has as its object of study the components of a language and its combinations. The concept finds its origin in the Latin grammatical term and refers, on the other hand, to the art of mastering a language correctly, both from speech and with writing.
Adjectives and Adverbs
The document discusses adjectives and possessive pronouns in Russian. It notes that adjectives modify nouns and must agree with the noun in case, number, and gender. There are three genders - masculine, feminine, and neuter. Masculine adjectives end in -ый, feminine in -ая, and neuter in -ое. Possessive pronouns like "my" and "your" also must agree with the noun in case, number, and gender, like adjectives. Examples of singular nominative possessive pronouns and their uses are provided.
Types of adjectives
This document discusses the different types of adjectives in English. It defines emphasizing adjectives as words that lay stress on a proceeding noun. The most commonly used emphasizing adjectives are "very" and "own", which are used to emphasize an idea. Examples of sentences using emphasizing adjectives include "Mind your own business" and "He has written all this with his own hands."
Linguistic And Communicative Rules
We learned that native speakers have an implicit knowledge of grammar and that children acquire this without realizing it. I commented, however, that a language teacher needs to be able to describe grammatical rules, and in Unit 2 you noted some grammatical differences between spoken and written English. Unit 3 will introduce further grammar concepts and you will have the chance to assess your own explicit knowledge. Unit 2 also began to explore the area of what language we actually choose to use. This unit will continue the theme by looking at how we choose to speak in different situations and will show that this sort of knowledge is just as important for a language learner as grammatical knowledge.
Linguistic competence
The term 'linguistic competence' refers to a person's knowledge of grammar, lexis and sound patterns. As you now know, a native speaker easily acquires implicit knowledge of these aspects of language in childhood. Learners of a foreign language, on the other hand, struggle hard to acquire them. Choosing suitable grammar, words and sound patterns for the particular situation you are in is just as important and this is what the second half of this unit explores. First, though, we will investigate some grammar rules - that is, patterns of usage - and see how they might be useful to a learner of English.
Why do grammar activities like these?
As you carry out the activities on grammar in this unit, remember that it would be very unlikely for a teacher to tell learners everything at once about a particular grammatical item and expect them to apply it when communicating. What she can do is guide learners towards their own understanding about the limits that grammar sets in English - in other words the rules of English grammar. The activities in this section will give you an insight into how to discover and articulate these limits.
A teacher must be skilled at deducing the rules herself so that she can then foster this skill in her learners, who themselves need to develop the same skill if they are to become effective, independent learners. Without such strategies they'll be left to rely entirely on the trial and error methods of a child, and few learners have time to do it this way. So let's now look for some linguistic patterns in English.
Finding patterns: verbs
This section is about looking for boundaries and patterns in verbs. It isn't a comprehensive guide to verbs in the English language. I could have chosen any of the main word classes to investigate - for example, nouns, pronouns or adjectives. But the variety and complexity of the English verb offers you as good a chance as any to practice teasing out and describing some grammatical rules. Verbs also happen to be very central to everything that goes on in English and the explicit knowledge you gain from this section will be useful to you. We'll start with defining the word verb.

Semantic
1. Semantics is the study of meaning in language and involves three elements - the thing, the word, and the meaning.
2. There are different types of semantic fields including continuous concretes, separate concretes, and abstracts.
3. Relationships between words include synonymy, antonymy, inclusion, exclusion, and totality. Relative meaning of words can also differ between individuals and over time.

Gender is more prominent in Spanish pronouns compared to English.
Semantic
Semantic is the study of meaning in language. It examines meaning at several linguistic levels, including phonology, morphology, and lexical meaning. At the phonological level, sound symbolism refers to an association between a word's sound and its meaning. Morphology considers how word structure and morphemes convey different types of meaning, such as plurality, possession, and tense. Lexical meaning looks at open class words like nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, as well as closed class words like prepositions, determiners and conjunctions. Semantic explores meaning across these linguistic levels to understand how language communicates meaning.
Determiner and its types

Spanish_Demonstrative_adjectives_and_pronouns.ppt
- 1. Demonstrative adjectives In Spanish, as in English, demonstrative adjectives are words that “demonstrate” or “point out” nouns. Demonstrative adjectives precede the nouns they modify and, like other Spanish adjectives you have studied, agree with them in gender and number. Observe these, then study the following chart.
- 3. There are three sets of demonstrative adjectives. To determine which one to use, you must establish the relationship between the speaker and the noun(s) being pointed out.
- 4. The demonstrative adjectives este, esta, estos, and estas are used to point out nouns that are close to the speaker and the listener.
- 5. The demonstrative adjectives ese, esa, esos, and esas are used to point out nouns that are not close in space and time to the speaker. They may, however, be close to the listener.
- 6. The demonstrative adjectives aquel, aquella, aquellos, and aquellas are used to point out nouns that are far away from the speaker and the listener.
- 7. Demonstrative pronouns Demonstrative pronouns are identical to their corresponding demonstrative adjectives, with the exception that they carry an accent mark on the stressed vowel.
- 9. ¡Atención! Like demonstrative adjectives, demonstrative pronouns agree in gender and number with the corresponding noun.
- 10. There are three neuter demonstrative pronouns: esto, eso, and aquello. These forms refer to unidentified or unspecified nouns, situations, ideas, and concepts. They do not change in gender or number and never carry an accent mark.
- 11. Provide the correct form of the demonstrative adjective for these nouns. The first item has been done for you. 1. la falda / este ____________ 2. los estudiantes / este _________ 3. los países / aquel ____________ 4. la ventana / ese ____________ 5. los periodistas / ese ____________ 6. el chico / aquel ____________ 7. las sandalias / este ____________ 8. las chicas / aquel ____________ esta falda
