Questions & Answers about Este gráfico demuestra que estudiar un poco cada día hace que recordemos mejor el vocabulario.
Why is it este gráfico and not esta gráfico?
Because gráfico is a masculine singular noun, so it needs the masculine singular demonstrative este.
So:
- este gráfico
- esta tabla
- esta gráfica if you were using the feminine noun gráfica
Why does gráfico have an accent mark?
Because the stress falls on the third-to-last syllable: grá-fi-co.
In Spanish, any word stressed on the third-to-last syllable is written with an accent mark. These are called esdrújulas, and they always carry a written accent.
So the accent tells you to stress grá.
What is que doing after demuestra?
Here que means that and introduces a subordinate clause.
So the structure is:
- Este gráfico demuestra que...
- This graph shows/demonstrates that...
This is very common in Spanish:
- Creo que... = I think that...
- Parece que... = It seems that...
- Está claro que... = It is clear that...
Why is estudiar in the infinitive?
