Es el uso de esto/eso bueno?

no estoy seguro con el uso de eso/a y esto/a es cierto, tan escribo un ejemplo.

(esto/a y este): ESTE maestro es muy inteligente. ESTAS cosas son nuevo para me. que es esto en frente de yo (puedo uso yo o me aqui? no se cual).

(eso/a y ese): ESA mesa es roto. el sonido de ESOS pajaros en ESO arbole, es fuerte. que es ESE?

Im not sure if this is correct? gracias!!!

Para mí, los "hmmm demostrativos" no recuerdo su nombre llevaban acento siempre: éste, ésto, ésta (this) ése, éso, ésa (that) pero ahora no lo llevan siempre porque cambiaron las reglas. Esta gente se puso políticamente correcta. y yo ya no los escribo con acento.

este es un punto cardinal (East)

está es del verbo estar (to be)

Espero te ayude.

Demonstrative Adjectives (Determiners)
esta - this (modifies a singular feminine noun) esta casa (this house)
este - this (modifies a singular masculine noun) este libro (this book)
esa - that (modifies a singular feminine noun) esa casa (that house)
ese - that (modifies a singular masculine noun) ese libro (that book)
estas - these (modifies a plural feminine noun) estas casas (these houses)
estos - these (modifies a plural masculine noun) estos libros (these books)
esas - those (modifies a plural feminine noun) esas casas (those houses)
esos - those (modifies a plural masculine noun) esos libros (those books)

Demonstrative Pronouns
ésta - the latter (the singular feminine noun just mentioned or in question)
¿Cuál prefieres, la chica o la grande? Ésta, por favor.
(Which one would you like, the small one or the large one? The latter (the large one), please.)
éstas - the latter (for plural feminine nouns)
éste - the latter (the singular masculine noun just mentioned or in question)
¿Cuál prefieres, el chiquito o el grandote? Éste, por favor.
(Which do you like better, the tiny one or the great big one? The latter, please.)
éstos - the latter (for plural masculine nouns)
esto - this (this thing) (neuter) ¿Qué es esto?
(What is this (thing)?)
There is no plural form of the neuter demonstrative pronoun.

Another sample:
No quiero esta flor. Quiero ésa. (I don't want this flower. I want that one.)

Conjugations of estar (to be)
está - 3rd-person present indicative tense
Usted | Él | Ella está aquí. (You | He | She is here.)
esté - 3rd-person imperative or subjunctive mood
Que usted | él | ella esté aquí. (That you | he| she might) be here.

Hope this helps!

I've never known the demonstrative determiners (adjectives) to have accents.
But I'm seeing the accents being omitted from the demonstrative pronouns.
Is that a new ruling, or just new laziness?

To me all of them should be accented except the cardinal. But I was that it had changed. Just like "sólo" and one sylable words......

I lost track of all that since I came to this country. Now I am not sure of what's OK and what not. Just wanted to know.

Thanks anyway.

A new ruling for lazy people. But yes, from now on, demonstrative pronouns are not written with an accent (I'm not sure if I'll ever be used to) .
