Hi Michael,
"quel" and "quello" are called demonstrative adjectives in the masculine form and they mean "that".
You will need to use:
-"quel" in front of masculine singular nouns.
Example: Quel libro è interessante
(That book was interesting)
-"Quello" in front of masculine nouns starting by s+ a consonant, or z
Example:
-Quello scatolone è rotto (That carton is broken)
I hope this helps :)
Buon divertimento con Rocket Italian.
Ciao
