SummaryIt should be pointed out that, in actual usage, ese, esa, esos and esas

(that, those) are often used instead of aquel , aquella, aquellos and

aquellas (that over there, those over there), particularly if the object or

person being referred to is relatively close.

That girl is my cousin, Isabel.

However, if the object or person is quite far away, the aquel forms are

preferred.
