Explanation

Possessive adjectives are indeed used to indicate ownership of an item. They are used before a noun to show that something belongs to someone or something.

These adjectives help clarify the relationship between the noun and the owner, making it clear who possesses the item in question.

Submit

7. Which of the following are used to describe objects near the speaker?

Explanation

The words "este, esta, estos, estas" are used to describe objects near the speaker. These words are demonstrative adjectives in Spanish that indicate proximity to the speaker. They agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. For example, "este libro" means "this book" and "estos libros" means "these books".

Submit
8. This and these adjectives refer to adjectives with a location near the speaker.

Explanation

This statement is true because the adjectives "this" and "these" are used to refer to objects or people that are close to the speaker. They indicate proximity to the speaker in terms of location. For example, if someone says "this book" or "these books," they are referring to books that are nearby or within reach. So, the statement correctly states that "this" and "these" adjectives refer to adjectives with a location near the speaker.

Submit
9. Demonstrative adjectives are used to show which item is being talked about.

Explanation

Demonstrative adjectives, such as "this," "that," "these," and "those," are used to indicate and point out specific items or people.

Explanation

The words "aquel, aquella, aquellos, aquellas" refer to objects that are far from both the speaker and the person being spoken to. These words indicate a greater distance compared to the other options given.

Submit
11. Both demonstrative and possessive adjectives are found before the noun.

Explanation

Demonstrative and possessive adjectives are types of adjectives that are used to describe or indicate ownership or possession of a noun. These adjectives are always placed before the noun they modify. Therefore, the statement that both demonstrative and possessive adjectives are found before the noun is true.

Submit
12. Demonstrative adjectives are used to indicate relationships.

Explanation

Demonstrative adjectives are used to point out or identify specific nouns, not to indicate relationships. They are used to indicate proximity or distance in relation to the speaker and the listener. For example, "this" and "these" are used to refer to objects that are close to the speaker, while "that" and "those" are used to refer to objects that are farther away. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Submit
