This quiz assesses understanding of noun and adjective agreement in Spanish, focusing on correct gender and number adjustments in sentences.

2. Lorena es _____(trabajador/trabajadora/trabajadores/trabajadoras).

Submit
3. Carlos y yo somos _____(inteligente/inteligentes).

Explanation

The correct answer is "inteligentes" because the subject "Carlos y yo" is plural, indicating that there is more than one person. In Spanish, when referring to a plural subject, the adjective "inteligentes" also needs to be in the plural form to agree with the subject. Therefore, "inteligentes" is the correct form to use in this sentence.

Submit
4. El perro es _____(gordo/gorda/gordos/gordas).

Explanation

The correct answer is "gordo" because "perro" is a masculine noun, and the adjective "gordo" agrees with it in gender and number. Since "perro" is singular, the adjective also needs to be singular, so "gordo" is the correct form.

Submit
5. La jirafa es _____(malo/mala/malos/malas).

Explanation

The correct answer is "mala" because "jirafa" is a feminine noun in Spanish, so the adjective that describes it should also be feminine. "Mala" is the feminine form of the adjective "mal" which means "bad" or "evil" in English. Therefore, the correct sentence would be "La jirafa es mala" which translates to "The giraffe is bad/evil."

Submit
6. José y Catalina son _____(alto/alta/altos/altas).

Explanation

José y Catalina son altos. "Altos" is the correct answer because it agrees in gender and number with the subjects "José y Catalina," who are both masculine and plural. The adjective "altos" matches the masculine plural form of the noun.

Submit
7. Las abejas son _____(pequeña/pequeño/pequeños/pequeñas).

Explanation

The correct answer is "pequeñas" because it agrees with the noun "abejas" in gender and number. In Spanish, adjectives must match the noun they describe in both gender and number. Since "abejas" is a feminine plural noun, the adjective must also be feminine and plural, hence "pequeñas" is the correct form.

Submit
8. Gloria es _____(moreno/morena/morenos/morenas).

Explanation

The correct answer is "morena" because the word "Gloria" is a feminine name, and in Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender with the noun they modify. Since "morena" is the feminine form of the adjective "moreno," it is the correct choice to describe Gloria.

Submit
9. La chica es _____(cómico/cómica).

Explanation

The correct answer is "cómica" because the word "chica" is feminine, and in Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender with the noun they modify. Since "cómica" is the feminine form of the adjective "cómico," it is the correct choice to describe a female subject.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is "altos" because the word "nosotros" is a plural pronoun that refers to a group of people. In Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since "nosotros" is masculine and plural, the adjective "altos" is the correct form to match it.

Submit
11. Los estudiantes son _____(serio/seria/serios/serias).

Explanation

The correct answer is "serios" because "estudiantes" is a plural noun, and in Spanish, adjectives must agree in number and gender with the noun they modify. Since "estudiantes" is masculine plural, the adjective "serios" also needs to be masculine plural to match.

Explanation

The correct answer is "negros" because in Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. In this case, "osos" is a masculine plural noun, so the adjective "negros" is the correct form to match both the gender and number of the noun.

Submit
13. Mi amiga es _____(bonito/bonita/bonitos/bonitas).

Explanation

The given sentence is in Spanish and it is referring to a female friend. The word "amiga" is a feminine noun, so the correct form of the adjective "bonito" (meaning beautiful/pretty) to match the gender is "bonita." Therefore, the correct answer is "bonita."

Explanation

The correct answer is "listas" because the subject "nosotras" is a feminine plural pronoun. In Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since "listas" is the feminine plural form of the adjective "listo," it correctly matches the subject "nosotras."

Explanation

The given sentence is in Spanish and it states that ants are "interesantes" which means interesting. The adjective "interesantes" agrees with the noun "hormigas" in gender and number.

Submit
17. Yo soy (masculine) _____(fuerte/fuertes).

Explanation

The correct answer is "fuerte" because it agrees with the subject "Yo" (I) in gender and number. Since "Yo" is singular and masculine, the adjective should also be singular and masculine.

Submit
18. Yo soy (feminine) _____(joven/jóvenes).

Explanation

The correct answer is "joven" because the sentence is referring to a feminine subject, "Yo soy" (I am), and the word "joven" is the correct form of the adjective to agree with the feminine subject. The word "jóvenes" is the plural form of the adjective and does not match the singular subject in the sentence.

Explanation

The correct answer is "flaca" because the noun "maestra" is feminine, so the adjective that describes her must also be feminine.
