Example Question #2 : Nouns In Spanish

Which of the following cannot be used as a direct object noun in the sentence below? 

 

Which of the following answer choices could NOT be used to correctly complete the following sentence?

Estoy lavando __________

Possible Answers:

los platos

mi hermanito

mi coche

All of the other answer choices are acceptable direct object nouns.

Correct answer:

mi hermanito

Explanation:

The phrase "mi hermanito" (my little brother) cannot be used to complete this sentence because there is no presence of the personal “a.” Direct object nouns that represent people must have “a” inserted directly in front of them.

Example Question #3 : Nouns In Spanish

Fill in the blank with the correct answer. 

¿Dónde están __________ fotos?

Possible Answers:

la

los

el 

unos

las

Correct answer:

las

Explanation:

"Foto" is a shortened form of the noun fotografía, which is feminine; therefore, "fotos" is a feminine plural noun and should take "las" as its article. 

Example Question #11 : Ap Spanish Language

Fill in the blank with the correct answer.

__________ viajé a España. 

Possible Answers:

La cuarta día

El día cuarto

La cuatra día

El cuatro día

El cuarto día

Correct answer:

El cuarto día

Explanation:

Ordinal numbers in spanish always come before the noun. The noun "día," though it ends in an "a," is masculine. The correct answer is el cuarto día. 

Example Question #1 : Pronouns In Spanish

Fill in the blank with the correct pronoun

 

 

“A ella no le gustan las fresas. Entonces, ella no __________ va a comer.”

 

 

Possible Answers:

La

Los

Las

Lo

Correct answer:

Las

Explanation:

The blank requires the use of a direct object pronoun. The pronoun must agree in gender and number with the original direct object. In this sentence, “las fresas” is the direct object; therefore, the correct direct object pronoun is “las.”

 

 

Example Question #2 : Pronouns In Spanish

Fill in the blank with the correct answer. 

—"¿Compraste los libros?"

 

—"Si, __________ compré."

Possible Answers:

lo

la

ellos

los

las

Correct answer:

los

Explanation:

The direct object must agree with the noun that it replaces. "Libros" is masculine plural, and the correct direct object in the masculine plural form is "los." 

Example Question #3 : Pronouns In Spanish

Fill in the blank with the correct answer.

—¿Quieres leer un libro a Marta?

 

—Ya estoy __________.

 

Possible Answers:

leyéndolose

leéndoselo

leyéndolelo

leyéndosele

leyéndoselo 

Correct answer:

leyéndoselo 

Explanation:

The correct gerund of "leer" is "leyendo." This is due to the double-object pronoun; the indirect "le"-to her and "lo"- it (the book) are next to each other, so the "le" must change to "se." Indirect objects always come before direct objects.

Possible Answers:

iré

iría

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The past conditional form a verb, poder in this case, is a good indication that we should continue to use the conditional to complete the sentence.
