Spanish 1 Diagnostic

In Spanish, the pronoun "te" is used to refer to the second person singular informal. In this question, the speaker is asking "How do you call yourself?" using the informal "tú" form. Therefore, the correct answer is "te" which corresponds to the second person singular informal reflexive pronoun.

The correct answer is "también" because it means "also" in Spanish. The sentence is saying "My father speaks French. I also speak French." The word "también" is used to indicate that the speaker shares the same ability or action as someone else.

The correct answer is "tengo" because it is the first-person singular form of the verb "tener" which means "to have" in Spanish. The subject "yo" also indicates that the correct verb form should be in the first-person singular.

The correct answer is "bailar". In the sentence, the speaker is expressing their preference for an activity when they have free time. The verb "gusta" indicates that the speaker likes or enjoys the activity. "Bailar" is the infinitive form of the verb "to dance", which matches with the subject "me" (I). Therefore, the correct form is "me gusta bailar", meaning "I like to dance".

The correct answer is "tú" because the question is asking "Do you speak Spanish?" and "tú" is the informal second person singular pronoun used to refer to "you" in Spanish.

The correct answer is "Dónde" because it is asking for the location where Mariel lives. "Cuántos" means "how many," "Qué" means "what," and "Cuándo" means "when," none of which make sense in the context of the question.

The correct answer is "está" because the verb "estar" is used to indicate temporary states or conditions, such as how someone is feeling or where someone is located. In this case, the question is asking "How are you?" which refers to someone's current state or condition. Therefore, the correct form of the verb "estar" to use with the pronoun "usted" (you) is "está."

The correct answer is "Cuántos". This is because the question is asking about the quantity of books someone has in their house, so "Cuántos" which means "How many" is the appropriate interrogative word to use in this context.

The correct answer is "les". In Spanish, the pronoun "les" is used to indicate interest or liking towards something or someone. In this sentence, it is used to show that María and Carla are interested in music.

The question is asking for the number of years the other person has. "Cuántos" is the correct word to use in this context as it means "how many" in Spanish.

The question is asking for the relationship between the person's mother's mother and themselves. The correct answer is "abuela" which means grandmother in Spanish. This means that the person's mother's mother is their grandmother.

The correct answer is "esos". In Spanish, the word "zapatos" is masculine and plural, so we need to use the masculine plural form of the demonstrative adjective. "Esos" is the masculine plural form of "ese", which means "that" or "those". Therefore, the correct sentence would be "Quiero comprar esos zapatos", meaning "I want to buy those shoes".

The correct answer is "tenemos" because the phrase "Tú y yo" means "you and I" which is a plural subject. The verb "tener" (to have) needs to agree with the subject in number, so it should be conjugated in the first person plural form, which is "tenemos". Additionally, the phrase "el pelo castaño" suggests that both "you and I" have brown hair.

The correct answer is "eres" because the subject "tú" is singular and the verb "eres" is the conjugation of the verb "ser" (to be) in the second person singular form. This means that the sentence translates to "You are very beautiful."

The correct answer is "a la" because in Spanish, the preposition "a" is used to indicate movement towards a specific destination, and "la" is the feminine definite article used before a singular feminine noun, like "escuela" (school). Therefore, "Carlos va a la escuela" translates to "Carlos goes to the school" in English.

The correct answer is "para". In this context, "para" is used to indicate the purpose or destination of the book. It suggests that the book is intended for you or it is meant to be given to you.

The correct answer is "trabaja" because the verb "trabaja" is conjugated in the third person singular form, which agrees with the subject "mi padre" (my father). In Spanish, verbs need to be conjugated to match the subject in terms of person and number.

The correct answer is "azules / negro". In Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since "ojos" (eyes) is plural and masculine, the adjective "azules" is used. On the other hand, "pelo" (hair) is singular and masculine, so the adjective "negro" is used.

In this sentence, the correct answer is "se". The verb "llama" is a reflexive verb, which means that the subject of the verb is also the object. In this case, the subject is "el perro" (the dog) and the reflexive pronoun "se" is used to indicate that the dog is calling itself. So the sentence translates to "The dog calls itself Rex."

The correct answer is "Qué / Son". In this dialogue, the first person is asking "What time is it?" using the word "Qué". The second person responds with "It's five o'clock" using the word "Son" which is the correct form of the verb "ser" (to be) for plural hours.

The correct answer is "Nunca" because it means "never" in English. The phrase "No me gusta nadar" translates to "I don't like swimming," and the word "nunca" is used to express that the person never swims.

The correct answer is "tu" because the question is asking if the book belongs to María, and "tu" is the possessive pronoun that means "your" in Spanish.

The correct answer is "la". In Spanish, the word "blusa" is a feminine noun, so the correct form of the adjective "rosada" to agree with it is also feminine, which is "rosada". Therefore, the correct phrase is "la blusa rosada".

Carlos y María tienen un perro.

The correct answer is "fue" because it is the conjugated form of the verb "ir" (to go) in the third person singular (él/ella/usted). In the question, it is asking where Mariel went, so we need to use the third person singular form of the verb.

The correct answer is "Hay" because the sentence is expressing the existence of two books on the table. "Hay" is the correct form of the verb "haber" to indicate the presence or existence of something.

The correct answer is "se". In this sentence, "levantarse" is a reflexive verb, which means that the subject of the sentence performs the action on themselves. In this case, Raúl is the subject and he is performing the action of getting up on himself. The reflexive pronoun "se" is used to indicate this. So the sentence translates to "Raúl gets up at 8:00."

The correct answer is "le". In this sentence, "Andrés" is the subject and "el arte" is the direct object. The pronoun "le" is used to indicate that the interest is directed towards Andrés.

The correct answer is "son" because the subject of the sentence is "Raúl y Carlos," which is plural. Therefore, the verb "ser" needs to be conjugated in the third person plural form, which is "son."

The correct answer is "le". In Spanish, the pronoun "le" is used to indicate the indirect object, which in this case refers to someone else. The sentence is saying that someone (Rex) likes to eat a lot. The pronoun "le" is used to show that someone else enjoys eating a lot.

The correct answer is "más alto que". This is because "más alto que" means "taller than" in English. In the given sentence, Antonio is being compared to his sister, implying that he is taller than her.

The correct answer is "Me" because the verb "levanto" is in the first person singular form, indicating that the subject is the speaker. Therefore, the correct pronoun to use is "Me" which corresponds to the first person singular pronoun in English, "I".

The correct answer is "esas". In the sentence, "Me gustan _____ blusas," the speaker is expressing their liking for a plural noun, which is "blusas" (meaning blouses). Since "blusas" is feminine and plural, the correct form of the demonstrative adjective to use is "esas," which means "those" in English.

The correct answer is "al". In Spanish, when the preposition "a" is followed by the definite article "el", it combines to form the contraction "al". Therefore, the correct way to say "Ana goes to the bank" in Spanish is "Ana va al banco".

In the given conversation, the speaker is being asked whether they want a black hat or a gray one. The speaker responds by saying "Quiero uno negro", which translates to "I want a black one". The word "uno" is used because it agrees in gender and number with the noun "sombrero" (hat) which is masculine and singular. Therefore, "uno" is the correct answer.

The correct answer is "fui" because it is the first person singular form of the verb "ir" (to go) in the past tense. It matches with the subject "yo" (I), indicating that the speaker went to the school.

In this conversation, José is being asked if he has black shoes. He responds by saying "No, no los tengo." The word "los" is used here because it is the direct object pronoun that corresponds to "zapatos" (shoes). "Los" is the masculine plural form of the pronoun, which matches the gender and number of "zapatos." Therefore, the correct answer is "los."

The correct answer is "me lastimé." In this sentence, the subject is "te" (you) and the verb is "lastimaste" (hurt). The question is asking if "you" hurt yourself, and the response is "me lastimé" which means "I hurt myself." The reflexive pronoun "me" indicates that the subject is both the doer and receiver of the action.

The correct answer is "estudié / comí". The question is asking about what the person did yesterday. The verb "estudié" is the past tense form of "estudiar", which means "to study". This indicates that the person studied yesterday. The verb "comí" is the past tense form of "comer", which means "to eat". This indicates that the person ate a big salad after studying.
