Demonstrative Pronouns — Agreement
In Spanish, the demonstrative pronoun agrees in gender and in number with the noun it replaces. The written accent mark on the demonstrative pronouns distinguishes them from the adjectives. However, the neuter forms esto, eso, aquello do not have an accent. Although this rule is now much more relaxed.
El libro verde es mío, pero ése es de María.
The green book is mine but that one is Maria's.
Hay dos cartas. Ésta es para usted; aquélla es para Juan.
There are two letters. This one is for you; that one is for John.
Las ventanas del otro cuarto son más grandes que éstas.
The windows of the other room are larger than these.
