7. Write the article for the following words  el or la

gato

Explanation

The given answer "el" is a Spanish word that means "the" in English. It is a masculine singular definite article used before a masculine singular noun. In Spanish, articles are used to indicate the gender and number of nouns. "El" is used before masculine singular nouns, while "la" is used before feminine singular nouns. In this case, since there is no context provided, it is not possible to determine the exact meaning or usage of the word "el".

Submit
8. Pluma

Explanation

The correct answer is "las plumas" because "pluma" is a feminine noun in Spanish, so it requires a feminine article. "Las" is the feminine plural form of the article "la" and agrees with the plural noun "plumas." Therefore, "las plumas" is the correct form to indicate "the feathers" in Spanish.

Submit
9. El techo

Explanation

The correct answer is "los techos" because "techos" is a masculine noun in Spanish, and the article "los" is used to indicate plural masculine nouns. Therefore, "los techos" means "the roofs" in English.

Submit
10. El estudiante

Explanation

The given correct answer is "los estudiantes". In Spanish, "estudiante" is a masculine noun, so it requires the article "los" which is the plural form of the masculine article "el". Therefore, "los estudiantes" is the correct way to refer to a group of male students.

Submit
11. 2:30 in the afternoon

Explanation

The correct answer is "son los dos y media de la tarde" which translates to "it is two-thirty in the afternoon". This answer is correct because it accurately represents the time in Spanish. "Dos y media" means "two-thirty" and "de la tarde" means "in the afternoon".

Submit
12. El estante

Explanation

The correct answer is "los estantes" because "estantes" is a masculine noun in Spanish, so it requires the masculine article "los" to indicate plural. "El estante" is singular and refers to one shelf, while "los estantes" is plural and refers to multiple shelves. "Las estantes" would be incorrect because "las" is the feminine article and does not match the gender of the noun.

Submit
13. El papel

Explanation

The correct answer is "los papeles" because "papeles" is a masculine noun in Spanish, and when referring to multiple masculine objects, the correct article to use is "los".

Submit
14. El imagen

Explanation

The correct answer is "los imagenes" because "imagenes" is a plural noun in Spanish and the article "los" is used before plural masculine nouns. Therefore, "los imagenes" is the correct way to say "the images" in Spanish.

Submit
15. La pelicula

Explanation

The correct answer is "las peliculas" because "las" is the plural form of the feminine article "la" and "peliculas" is the plural form of the noun "pelicula" which means "movie" in Spanish. Therefore, "las peliculas" translates to "the movies" in English.

Submit
16. 10:20 AM

Explanation

The correct answer is "son las diez y veinte" because it correctly translates to "it is ten twenty" in English, indicating the time as 10:20 AM.

Submit
17. Vela

Explanation

The correct answer is "las velas" because the word "velas" is plural, and in Spanish, plural nouns are usually preceded by the article "las". Therefore, "las velas" is the correct way to say "the candles" in Spanish.

Submit
18. Pupitre (m)

Explanation

The correct answer is "los pupitres" because "pupitre" is a masculine noun and the article "los" is used to indicate the plural form of masculine nouns in Spanish. Therefore, "los pupitres" means "the desks" in English.

Submit
19. 8:17

Explanation

The correct answer is "son las ocho y diecisiete" because it correctly translates to "it's eight seventeen" in English. The phrase "diecisiete" means "seventeen" in Spanish, so when combined with "ocho" (eight), it accurately represents the time as 8:17. The other options "son las ocho y siete" (it's eight seven) and "son las ocho y setenta" (it's eight seventy) do not accurately represent the time 8:17.

Submit
20. Write the plurals for the following:

suelo

Explanation

The given correct answer "los suelos" is the plural form of the word "el suelo" which means "the floor" in English. The word "suelos" is the plural noun form used when referring to multiple floors or surfaces. It is important to note that "las suelas" is not the correct plural form for "el suelo" as it means "the soles" in English, referring to the bottom part of shoes.

Submit
21. El mapa

Explanation

The correct answer is "los mapas" because "mapas" is a masculine noun in Spanish, so it requires the masculine article "los" to match in gender and number. "Las mapas" would be incorrect because "las" is the feminine article and does not match the gender of the noun.

Submit
22. Computadora

Explanation

The correct answer is "las computadoras" because "computadoras" is a feminine noun in Spanish, so it should be preceded by the feminine article "las." The plural form of "computadora" is "computadoras," so the correct phrase is "las computadoras."

Submit
23. El lapiz

Explanation

The correct answer is "los lapices" because "los" is the masculine plural form of the article "the" in Spanish, and "lapices" is the plural form of the noun "lapiz" which means "pencil". Therefore, "los lapices" translates to "the pencils" in English.

Submit
24. 1:07

Explanation

The correct answer is "es la una y siete". This is the correct way to say "it is one o'clock and seven minutes" in Spanish. The phrase "es la una" means "it is one o'clock" and "y siete" means "and seven". Therefore, "es la una y siete" accurately represents the given time.

Submit
25. 4:40

Explanation

The correct answer is "son las cinco menos veinte." This is because the time given is 4:40, which means it is twenty minutes before 5 o'clock. In Spanish, "menos" means "minus" or "less," so "cinco menos veinte" translates to "five minus twenty," indicating that it is twenty minutes before five o'clock.
