    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

    what about that cheque? — ¿y el cheque ese?

    I only met her that oncela 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].
    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?

    is that you, Paul? — ¿eres tú, Paul?

    £5? it must have cost more than that — ¿5 libras? debe haber costado más (que eso)

    that's true — eso es verdad, es cierto (esp LAm)

    1988? that was the year you graduated, wasn't it? — ¿1988? ese fue el año en que acabaste la carrera, ¿no es así?

    "will he come?" - "that he will!" — -¿vendrá? -¡ya lo creo!

    after that — después de eso

    bees and wasps and all that — abejas, avispas y cosas así

    is that all? — ¿eso es todo?, ¿nada más?

    and it was broken at that — y además estaba roto

    what do you mean by that? — ¿qué quieres decir con eso?

    if it comes to that — en tal caso, si llegamos a eso

    it will cost 20 dollars, if that — costará 20 dólares, si es que llega

    that is(=ie) es decir...

    that's it, we've finished — ya está, hemos terminado

    that's it! she can find her own gardener! — ¡se acabó! ¡que se busque un jardinero por su cuenta!

    that of — el/la de

    that is to say — es decir...

    why worry about that which may never happen? — frm ¿por qué preocuparse por aquello que or por lo que puede que nunca vaya a pasar?

    with that — con eso

    3. RELATIVE PRONOUN
    Unlike that, the Spanish relative cannot be omitted.
    1) que

    fool that I am! — ¡tonto que soy!

    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 box that I put it in — la caja donde lo puse, la caja en la que or en la cual lo puse

    4. ADVERB
    1) (=so) tan

    it's about that big (with gesture) es más o menos así de grande

    cheer up! it isn't that bad — ¡ánimo! ¡no es para tanto!

    that many frogs — tantas ranas

    that much money — tanto dinero

    2) * (=so very) tan

    it was that cold! — ¡hacía tanto frío!

    5. CONJUNCTION
    Unlike that, que cannot be omitted.
    1) after verb que

    he said that... — dijo que...

    Translate as de que in phrases like the idea/belief/hope that:

    any hope that they might have survived was fading — toda esperanza de que hubiesen sobrevivido se estaba desvaneciendo

    the idea that we can profit from their labour — la idea de que podemos aprovecharnos de su trabajo

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

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

    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 should behave like this is incredible — (el) que se comporte así es increíble, es increíble que se comporte así

    would
    4) (=in order that) para que + subjun
    5)

    in that — en el sentido de que
