Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. First of all, a plural noun usually ends in S. Example: restaurantes. Next, you should make a list of the demonstrative adjectives.
This = este, esta,
estos, estas (singular and plural, masculine and feminine respectively)
That = ese, esa, esos, esas (singular and plural, masculine and feminine respectively)
Those = aquel, aquella, aquellos, aquellas (singular and plural, masculine and feminine respectively)
Now let's analyze each sentence and find the correct demonstrative adjective to fill in the blanks:
1. They prefer that restaurant.
Prefieren aquel restaurante. (singular)
2. Those houses over there are very expensive.
Aquellas casas son muy caras. (plural)
3. I bought these shoes in Spain.
Compré estos zapatos en España. (plural)
4. Do you want this magazine?
¿Quieres esta revista? (singular)
