        Could someone please explain why "esse" is not correct for "that" in this sentence? Why is "Esse jogo foi fácil." not correct, please?

          "Aquilo jogo foi fácil." rejected. What is the difference between"aguilo" and aquele" ?

          Isto, isso and aquilo are used to replace a noun. It doesn't mean "this/that", but "this/that thing". So you either say "aquele carro" or "aquilo", but never "aquilo carro".
