Questions & Answers about Não vou comprar aquele quadro.
Why do we use aquele instead of esse to say "that"?
Does aquele need to match the word quadro?
Yes! Just like adjectives, these demonstrative words must match the gender and number of the noun they point out. Because quadro (painting) is a masculine, singular word, we use the masculine singular form aquele. If you were pointing at a feminine word like mesa (table), you would use aquela.
Where is the word for "I" in this sentence?
Does quadro always mean "painting"?
Not always. While it commonly means a painting or a framed picture on a wall, quadro can also mean a "board," such as a blackboard or a whiteboard in a classroom.
