Please, why is este marked wrong and esta given as the correct one? I can't work out why foto (masc) has esta (female) and not este. Is it because its BarcelonA?
And why sacamos and not tomamos?
Gracias.

Using demonstrative pronouns: este/esta & sacamos/tomamos
Tomamos esa foto en Madrid pero tomamos éste en Barcelona.
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using esto, este, esta, estos, estas to say "this", "this one" and "these ones" (demonstrative pronouns)"

Hola Lyn
"Foto" is a feminine noun, although it looks masculine because of its ending -o.
The noun foto is short for "fotografía" (photography) -> la foto, esta foto, esa foto...
In regards to sacar or tomar fotos, they are both correct. Tomar is maybe more commonly used in Latin America.
Hope this helps.
