1. 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 f
that 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 — ese(-a), ése(-a); (more remote) aquel(la), aquél(la)
In the past the standard spelling for [ese/esa] and [aquel/aquella] used as pronouns (as when they are used to translate [that one]) was with an accent ([ése/ésa] and [aquél/aquélla]). Nowadays the [Real Academia Española] advises that the accented forms are only required where there might otherwise be confusion with the adjectives [este/esta] and [aquel/aquella].
there's little to choose between this model and that one — no hay mucho que elegir entre este modelo y aquel

2) [+ event, year, month]

Aquel is used to refer to a time in the distant past. Use if you mention a concrete date, month, year {etc">ese:
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

2.

DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUN
The pronoun that ( one) is translated by ese and aquel (masc), esa and aquella (fem) and eso and aquello (neuter). 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. Note that in the past the standard spelling for the masculine and feminine pronouns was with an accent (ése/ésa and aquél/aquélla). Nowadays the Real Academia Española advises that the accented forms are only required where there might otherwise be confusion with the adjectives ese/esa and aquel/aquella. Neuter pronouns never carry an accent. (nearer) ese m, esa f, ése m, ésa f, eso (neuter) ; (more remote) aquel(la) m / f, aquél(la) m / f, aquello (neuter)
who's that? — ¿quién es ese?

what is that? — ¿qué es eso?, ¿eso qué es?

that's my French teacher over there — aquel es mi profesor de francés

that's my sister over by the window — aquella de la ventana es mi hermana

the girl that he met on holiday and later married — la chica que conoció durante las vacaciones y con la que después se casó

all that I have — todo lo que tengo

fool that I am! — ¡tonto que soy!

2) (with preposition)
If the that clause ends in a preposition, you can either translate that as que (usually preceded by the definite article) or as article + cual/cuales. Use the second option particularly in formal language or after long prepositions or prepositional phrases:

the car that she got into — el coche al que se subió

the film that I read about in the papers — la película sobre la que leí en el periódico

•..., not that I want to, of course —..., no es que yo quiera, por supuesto

• oh that we could! — ¡ojalá pudiéramos!, ¡ojalá!

3) 'that' clause as subject
If the that clause is the subject of another verb it is usual to translate that as el que rather than que especially if it starts the sentence:
that he did not know surprised me — (el) que no lo supiera me extrañó, me extrañó (el) que no lo supiera
In these cases the verb which follows will be in the subjunctive:
that he refuses is natural — (el) que rehúse es natural

would

Note: This much-used verb has no multi-purpose equivalent in French and therefore is very often translated by choosing a synonym: to get lunch = to prepare lunch = préparer le déjeuner

get is used in many idiomatic expressions ( to get something off one's chest etc) and translations will be found in the appropriate entry (chest etc). This is also true of offensive comments ( get lost etc) where the appropriate entry would be lost

Remember that when get is used to express the idea that a job is done not by you but by somebody else ( to get a room painted etc) faire is used in French followed by an infinitive ( faire repeindre une pièce etc)

When get has the meaning of become and is followed by an adjective (to get rich/drunk etc) devenir is sometimes useful but check the appropriate entry (rich, drunk etc) as a single verb often suffices ( s'enrichir, s'enivrer etc)
