AP Spanish Language and Culture › Noun Case in Spanish
Which word does not belong in this group?
La paz
La amistad
El acuerdo
La guerra
The question asks the student if they are familiar with various vocabulary words used throughout their Spanish studies. "La paz" (peace), "la amistad" (friendship), and "el acuerdo" (agreement) all fit together; however, "la guerra" (war) represents conflict and does not belong in this group.
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 __________.
mi hermanito
mi coche
los platos
All of the other answer choices are acceptable direct object nouns.
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.
