Erklärung
Este/esta/estos/estas, ese/esa/esos/esas, aquel/aquella/aquellos/aquellas — used alone they are pronouns: me gusta esa. Since the 2010 RAE reform, no written accent is required even as pronouns.
Aquel also reaches back in time: aquellos años ('those years back then'). The neuter forms esto, eso, aquello point at ideas or unidentified things — see the neuter pronouns rule.
