Demonstrative Pronoun Practice Exercise:
A. Answer with the appropriate pronoun. You should note that you CANNOT use a demonstrative pronoun without having previously named the noun that it is replacing or unless it is clear in the context. Otherwise, no one will understand what object you are referring to.


1. --¿Quiere Ud. comprar esta falda? --No, gracias. Prefiero “that one.”
2. --¿Te gustan esos zapatos? --Sí, me gustan “those.”
3. --Prefieres este abrigo o ése? --Prefiero “this one.”
4. --¿Qué tienda te gusta más? --“This one,” la joyería, por supuesto.

B. Circle the appropriate demonstrative pronoun in the parenthesis. Pay careful attention to

the noun it replaces.

1. Prefiero la corbata roja, no (ése, ésa, esa) que está allí.

2.  Este chaleco es chévere (cool) pero (aquel, aquél, aquélla) que lleva el señor allá es feo.

3. La ropa hecha en Honduras es más barata que (aquél, aquélla, aquéllas) hecha en Nueva York.
