TEXTO
Demonstrative Adjectives
The demonstrative adjectives ``this,'' ``these,'' ``that,'' ``those,'' and ``what'' are identical to the
demonstrative pronouns, but are used as adjectives to modify nouns or noun phrases, as in the
following sentences:
When the librarian tripped over that cord, she dropped a pile of books.
In this sentence, the demonstrative adjective ``that'' modifies the noun ``cord'' and the noun phrase
``that cord'' is the object of the preposition ``over.''
This apartment needs to be fumigated.
Here ``this'' modifies ``apartment'' and the noun phrase ``this apartment'' is the subject of the
sentence.
Even though my friend preferred those plates, I bought these.
In the subordinate clause, ``those'' modifies ``plates'' and the noun phrase ``those plates'' is the
object of the verb ``preferred.'' In the independent clause, ``these'' is the direct object of the verb
``bought.''
Note that the relationship between a demonstrative adjective and a demonstrative pronoun is
similar to the relationship between a possessive adjective and a possessive pronoun, or to that
between a interrogative adjective and an interrogative pronoun.

Demonstrative Adjectives
Adjetivos Demonstrativos
The demonstrative adjectives ``this,'' ``these,''
``that,'' ``those,'' and ``what'' are identical to the
demonstrative pronouns, but are used as
adjectives to modify nouns or noun phrases, as
in the following sentences:
Os adjetivos demonstratives “this”, “these”,
“that”, “those” e “what” são idênticos aos
pronomes demonstratives, mas são usados
como adjetivos para modificar substantivos ou
frase substantivas, como as sentenças seguintes:
This = este, esta, isto.
These = estes, estas, isto.
That = esse, essa, aquele, aquela, aquilo.
Those = esses, essas, aqueles, aquelas.
What = que, qual, quais.
When the librarian tripped over that cord, she
dropped a pile of books.
Quando a bibliotecária tropeçou sobre aquela
corda, ela deixou cair uma pilha de livros.
In this sentence, the demonstrative adjective
``that'' modifies the noun ``cord'' and the noun
phrase ``that cord'' is the object of the
preposition ``over.''
Nesta sentença, o adjetivo demonstrativo “that”
(aquela) modifica o substantivo “corda” e a
frase substantiva “that cord” (aquela corda) é o
objeto da preposição “over” (sobre).
This apartment needs to be fumigated.
Este apartamento necessita ser fumigado.
Here ``this'' modifies ``apartment'' and the noun
phrase ``this apartment'' is the subject of the
sentence.
Aqui “this” (este) modifica “apartament”
(apartamento) e o a frase substantivo “this
apartment” (este apartamento) é o sujeito da
sentença.
Even though my friend preferred those plates, I
bought these.
Embora meu amigo preferisse aquelas
gravuras, eu comprei estas.
In the subordinate clause, ``those'' modifies
``plates'' and the noun phrase ``those plates'' is
the object of the verb ``preferred.'' In the
independent clause, ``these'' is the direct object
of the verb ``bought.''
Na oração subordinada, “those” (aquelas)
modifica “plates” (gravuras) e a frase
substantiva “those plates” (aquelas gravuras) é
o objeto do verbo “preferred”. Na oração
independente, “these” (esta) é o objeto direto do
verbo “bought”.
Note that the relationship between a
demonstrative adjective and a demonstrative
pronoun is similar to the relationship between a
possessive adjective and a possessive pronoun,
or to that between a interrogative adjective and
an interrogative pronoun.
Note essa a relação entre um adjetivo
demonstrativo e um pronome demonstrativo é
parecida com a relação entre um adjetivo
possessivo e um pronome possessivo, ou aquela
entre um adjetivo interrogativo e um pronome
interrogativo.
