How do you say the following sentence in Spanish? You go to sleep very late.
- A.
Vos ir a el sueño muy tarde
- B.
Acuestas muy tarde
- C.
Te acuestas muy tarde
- D.
Te acostas mucho tarde
Correct Answer
C. Te acuestas muy tardeExplanation
You must use the verb: ACOSTARSE (To go to sleep by oneself).
Because it is a reflexive verb, you need to use the pronoun TE (you) before the verb.
Also, Acostarse is an irregular verb (O -> UE), so it conjugates into TE ACUESTAS for the second person singular (TÚ form, as opposed to the VOS form, which is TE ACOSTÁS).Rate this question:

What is wrong with this sentence: Mando un beso a Angelina Jolie.
- A.
The sentence should start with "Le"
- B.
"Mando" should be conjugated to "Maindo"
- C.
"Beso" should have "el" not "un"
- D.
The "a" should be earlier in the sentence
Correct Answer
A. The sentence should start with "Le"Explanation
In Spanish, when sending or giving something to a PERSON, you must use the indirect object pronoun before the verb. In this case, Angelina Jolie needs a singular, third person indirect pronoun- "LE"
The sentence should read:
Le mando un beso a Angelina Jolie
I send a kiss to Angelina Jolie.Rate this question:
