6.2.3 Complete the following sentences with the correct combination of preposition and demonstrative pronoun or adjective pronoun

de	deste	desta	destes	destas	disto
	desse	dessa	desses	dessas	disso
	daquele	daquela	daqueles	daquelas	daquilo
em	neste	nesta	nestes	nestas	nisto
	nesse	nessa	nesses	nessas	nisso
	naquele	naquela	naqueles	naquelas	naquilo
à	àquele	àquela	àqueles	àquelas	àquilo

In some of these sentences we have verb tenses of the past that we have not seen until know, but if we follow the logic of the standard grammar, we need these tenses if the demontrative pronoun / the demonstrative adjective points to a far away time and that's why they appear in the following sentences. However that shouldn't be a big problem, the meaning can be deduced from the translation. We will discuss the verbal tenses in chapter eleven.
