I want to see your progress.

But I thought that when the gender is known to be masculine, then you had to use "este" and that you only use "esto" for neutral. No?

EDITED LATER: DOH! I get it - singular/plural ... este/estos for masculine. There's no such thing as "estes". Don't answer my (dumb) question.........

Well, I had to have specified that they were singular and plural. Sorry.

Well, actually, it's good that you didn't ... because this is something that I should have already known, but needed to review. You forced me to think about it and figure it out for myself. (Shhh - don't tell Chileno!)

The translation correct is Este foro.
