1. used to introduce a restrictive relative clause the book that we want 2. used to introduce a clause with the verb to be to emphasize the extent to which the preceding noun is applicable genius that she is, she outwitted the computer [Old English thæt; related to Old Frisian thet, Old Norse, Old Saxon that, Old High German daz, Greek to, Latin istud, Sanskrit tad] Usage: Precise stylists maintain a distinction between that and which: that is used as a relative pronoun in restrictive clauses and which in nonrestrictive clauses. In the book that is on the table is mine, the clause that is on the table is used to distinguish one particular book (the one on the table) from another or others (which may be anywhere, but not on the table). In the book, which is on the table, is mine, the which clause is merely descriptive or incidental. The more formal the level of language, the more important it is to preserve the distinction between the two relative pronouns; but in informal or colloquial usage, the words are often used interchangeably Translations that (strong form) [ðæt] (weak form) [dət] (those (pl)) Those is treated as a separate entry. A. DEMONSTRATIVE ADJECTIVE 1. [+ objects/people] You can generally use ese etc when pointing to something near the person you are speaking to. Use aquel etc for something which is distant from both of you: (nearer) → ese m, esa f; (more remote) → aquel m, aquella fthat book → ese libro that hill over there → aquella colina de allí that car is much better value than that sports model at the end → ese coche está mejor de precio que aquel modelo deportivo que hay al final that lad of yours → ese chico tuyo that wretched dog! → ¡ese maldito perro! what about that cheque? → ¿y el cheque ese? I only met her that once → la vi solamente aquella vez that one → ése m, ésa f; (more remote) → aquél m, aquélla f there's little to choose between this model and that one → no hay mucho que elegir entre este modelo y aquél 2. [+ event, year, month] Aquel is used to refer to a time in the distant past. Use ese if you mention a concrete date, month, year, : do you remember that holiday we had in Holland? → ¿te acuerdas de aquellas vacaciones que pasamos en Holanda?1992? I can't remember where we holidayed that year → ¿1992? no recuerdo dónde pasamos las vacaciones ese año May? we can't come that month because we'll be moving house → ¿en mayo? no podemos venir ese mes porque nos estaremos mudando de casa B. DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUN The pronoun that (one) is translated by ése and aquél (masc), ésa and aquélla (fem) and eso and aquello (neuter). You can generally use ése etc when pointing to something near the person you are speaking to. Use aquél etc for something which is distant from both of you. Note that the masculine and feminine pronouns carry accents to distinguish them from the masculine and feminine adjectives, though these can be omitted if there is no ambiguity. Neuter pronouns never carry an accent: who's that? → ¿quién es ése?what is that? → ¿qué es eso?, ¿eso qué es? that's my French teacher over there → aquél es mi profesor de francés that's my sister over by the window → aquélla de la ventana es mi hermana that's Joe → es Joe is that you, Paul? → ¿eres tú, Paul? £5? it must have cost more than that → ¿5 libras? debe haber costado más(que eso) that's true → eso es verdad, es cierto(esp LAm) that's odd! → ¡qué raro!, ¡qué cosa más rara! 1988? that was the year you graduated, wasn't it? → ¿1988? ése fue el año en que acabaste la carrera, ¿no es así?
