Use aquel etc for something which is distant from both of you: (nearer) ese m, esa f ; (more remote) aquel m, aquella f 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].
Aquel is used to refer to a time in the distant past. Use if you mention a concrete date, month, year {etc">ese: 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) Unlike that, the Spanish relative cannot be omitted. 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: Unlike that, que cannot be omitted. Translate as de que in phrases like the idea/belief/hope that:
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: In these cases the verb which follows will be in the subjunctive: would

Ex: The library is poorly sited outside the shopping centre and on the brow of a hill, and faces competition from adjoining libraries.

Ex: The near-side press point was placed further in towards the middle of the tympan (and of the sheet) than the off-side point.

Ex: The trend is definitely towards the electronic submission, but the point where this method will entirely supplant the others is not yet in sight.

Ex: This article surveys the changes which have already occurred and those which are just over the horizon.

Ex: The author concludes with descriptions of advances in the technology currently on the horizon.
