Learn how to say that/those over there in Spanish as pronouns
In Spanish, to express that (over there), that one (over there) or those ones (over there) we use the demonstrative pronouns: aquel, aquella, aquellos, aquellas and aquello.
Like all pronouns they do not accompany a noun. The noun they refer to has been mentioned before, either in the same or a previous sentence.
Have a look and listen to these examples:
The pronouns agree in gender and number with the noun they are referring to:
| Masculine | Feminine | |

Singular (that one) (over there) |
aquel |
aquella |
|
Plural (those ones) (over there) |
aquellos |
aquellas |

When the pronoun is referring to an idea, then we use the neutral pronoun aquello, and there is only one form. You could translate it as "it" or "that".
