Aquel is the masculine-singular demonstrative for something at a distance from both the speaker and the listener, or distant in time. The four other forms - feminine aquella, masculine plural aquellos, feminine plural aquellas, and neuter aquello - all share this lemma page.
The neuter aquello refers to abstract concepts, distant memories, or situations rather than specific gendered nouns. Use it for the moment before you name the thing or for referring back to an event mentioned earlier.
The Real Academia made the diacritic on aquél, aquélla, aquéllos, aquéllas optional in 2010 and now recommends the unaccented forms in all uses.
