Demonstrative adjectives in Catalan grammar are used to indicate a specific object, person, or place in relation to the speaker and listener. In Catalan, there are three sets of demonstrative adjectives: “aquest/ aquesta” (this); “aquell/ aquella” (that); and “aquell/aquella” (that, far away). Demonstrative adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Practice your understanding of Catalan demonstrative adjectives with the following exercises.
