Our vocabulary is full of beautiful words, so it is an absolute shame that we are writing worse and worse and losing good writing habits and respect for spelling and grammar. However, just because we have a beautiful vocabulary does not mean that writing well is easy. It is logical to get confused and feel confused about some words or expressions. As is that or is that.
Words that sound the same, that are written or pronounced similar, words to which you change a letter and they are already misspelled, and even words that, at a given moment, we do not remember if they are written together or separately. This is precisely what happens with esque and that is. From now on take note that the proper way to write it is separate is that. On the contrary, if you put it often, it will be misspelled. There are times when words can be written in both ways, but this is not the case with es que, which in all cases must be separated. Next we are going to explain more about this adverb that we find so conflicting in its writing.

Instructions for writing es que or esque
The first thing you have to know is that the word esque written together does not exist. So never think of putting it like that because you will be making a spelling mistake. The correct way to write it is separated is that.
It is that it is an adverb. Adverbs are words that serve to modify other words, such as verbs, other adverbs, and even adjectives. They are used to add nuances, such as indicating place, time, doubt, affirmation, quantities or modes. The word or adverb is used to take a colloquial turn and add an explanation about something or a reason, for example, to justify why we have done something or said something. That is, it is used to give input to excuses, justifications or explanations. Let’s see some examples:
Why were you late? It’s that I entertained myself playing.
Have you brought the sandwich back? It’s just that I wasn’t hungry.
You failed math- I’m just not good at numbers. Adverbs do not admit modifications, they are invariable, and they do not have gender or number. They can accompany a verb, an adjective or an adverb.
Examples:
The girl eats a lot (adverb accompanying verb).
You have a very big house (adverb accompanying adjective).
My work is quite far from where I live (adverb accompanying adverb).
Sometimes we can use adjectives as adverbs. To make this valid, what we will do is transform the adjectives into adverbs using the ending mind. For example, quickly, moderately.
We can find 7 types of adverbs:
Adverbs of place: Here, there, there, here, far, above, below, near, in front…
Adverbs of time: Today, yesterday, before, after, soon, late, early, still…
Adverbs of manner: Bien, mal, como, así… and others just adding -MENTE to the qualifying adjectives (sadly, easily).
Adverbs of quantity: Much, little, enough, too much, more, less, nothing…
Adverbs of affirmation: Yes, also, true, indeed, of course, truly…
Adverbs of denial: No, never, never, neither…
Adverbs of doubt: Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, probably, possibly…
Sometimes, we can confuse adverbs with pronouns. You need to be careful with that. The same happens with determiners. To avoid confusion, take note of this:
A word will act as a determiner if it is accompanying a noun. If it is substituting for the noun, then it acts as a pronoun.
While if they are modifying adjectives or other adverbs, they will be behaving like adverbs.
On the other hand, it is necessary to know that there are also adverbial locutions. They are groups of words that function as adverbs.
Adverbial locutions of place: on the other side, from afar, from near, on high, above.
Adverbial locutions of time: From time to time, in a jiffy, at the last minute, instantly, as soon as…
Adverbial locutions of manner: Hands full, blindly, bulge, blindly, backwards, betrayal, really…
Adverbial locutions of quantity: More or less, at most, by little, not at all, at close range, by the way…
Adverbial locutions of affirmation: Without a doubt, of course, indeed, of course…
Adverbial locutions of negation: Not even remotely, in my life, never ever…
Adverbial locutions of doubt: Maybe, without a doubt, maybe…
