Spanish 1 Ch. 3b Grammar Quiz

The correct answer is "es". In Spanish, the verb "ser" is used to express characteristics or qualities of a person or thing. In this sentence, "Mi amigo Jaime" is the subject and "un chico perezoso" is the predicate, describing Jaime as a lazy boy. Since Jaime is singular, the correct form of the verb "ser" is "es", which means "is" in English.

The correct answer is "somos" because the subject of the sentence is "José y yo," which is a plural form. Therefore, the verb "ser" (to be) should also be in the plural form, which is "somos." This means that the sentence translates to "José and I are good friends."

The correct answer is "sabrosas" because "fresas" is a feminine noun in Spanish, so the adjective that describes it should also be feminine and plural. "Sabrosas" is the correct form of the adjective to agree with the noun.

The correct answer is "buenas" because it agrees in gender and number with the noun "carnes" (meat). In Spanish, adjectives must match the gender and number of the noun they describe, so since "carnes" is feminine and plural, the adjective must also be feminine and plural. "Buenas" is the feminine plural form of the adjective "bueno" (good), making it the correct choice in this sentence.

The correct answer is "soy" because the question is asking about the speaker's own personality trait, which is "being nice." In Spanish, the verb "ser" is used to describe inherent qualities or characteristics, so the correct conjugation of "ser" for the first person singular pronoun "yo" (I) is "soy."

The correct answer is "buenos" because the word "pasteles" is plural, so the adjective that describes them must also be plural. In Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since "pasteles" is masculine and plural, the adjective "buenos" is the correct form.

The correct answer is "eres" because the question is asking "Are you patient?" and the response is "No, I am impatient." In Spanish, the verb "to be" is conjugated as "eres" when referring to the second person singular form, which is "you."

The question asks if Colin and Kate are talented. The correct answer, "son", is the third person plural form of the verb "ser" (to be) in Spanish. This indicates that Colin and Kate are indeed talented.

The correct answer is "somos" because the question is asking about the characteristics of "Uds" (which stands for "ustedes" meaning "you all" in Spanish). Since "Uds" refers to a plural subject, the correct form of the verb "ser" (to be) is "somos" which means "we are". Therefore, the correct answer is "somos" which means "we are" intelligent and studious.
