It's not quite true that English has only two demonstratives - there's an older word still in common use at least in the North of England, usefully equivalent to 'aquel':

It's in wider use in the phrase 'wild blue yonder'
Ojala, ustedes ganen el primer premio.
Hi Inma,
The last sentence should be linked to Using llevar + present participle I believe, but it has been wrongly linked to Using llevar + past participle

“Usted tendría que devolver los
artículos en la caja. (You would have
to return the articles at the till.)
HINT: Conjugate "tener que"' in El
Condicional Simple.
“No entiendo “the till.” In the US would be the cashier, I think. In Latin America, perhaps “el cajero.” “The till” has various contations in the US and some border on the negative. From Miriam-Webster:
till
noun (1)
\ ˈtil \Definition of till (Entry 4 of 5)
1a: a money drawer in a store or bankalso : CASH REGISTERb: a box, drawer, or tray in a receptacle (such as a cabinet or chest) used especially for valuables2a: the money contained in a tillb: a supply of especially ready moneyWhy do you use Un before the "jugador de fútbol"
I wish there were a lesson explaining how the use of articles in Spanish differs from English. For example, "he has a good heart" is "tiene buen corazon" not "un buen corazon". Another example, "I will be in the first row" is "estare en primera fila" and not "en la primera fila".
I know this keeps coming up, but in the examples we see: “las llaves de la casa”, and “la reserva de hotel”. Both these expressions follow the structure of NOUN + DE + NOUN. Why do we only use “la” for the first one?
"ordered"...not order
