<u>Answers:</u>
<h2>5. Right Answer: <u>Agua</u> (Water)
</h2><h2 />
If you are in a marathon, you need to be hydrated in order to have energy to keep running. Therefore, you need to ingest water (agua), not a steak (<em>bistec</em>), a soda (<em>gaseosa</em>), nor a smoothie (<em>batido</em>).
<h2>6. Right Answer: <u>Soy de los Estados Unidos</u> (I am from the United States)
</h2>
If the question is:
¿De donde eres? (Where are you from?)
You must answer with <u>the same verbal tense</u> (verb TO BE in present) and the correct subject pronoun. In this case is <em>yo</em> (I):
I am from the United States
(Yo) Soy de los Estados Unidos
Note in Spanish grammar <u>is not always necessary that the subject is explicitly in the sentence</u>, it is called Tacit Subject, Implicit Subject or Null Subject.
This is because the subject is encoded in the verb conjugation
<h2>7. Right Answer: <u>Hoy es lunes</u> (Today is Monday)
</h2>
This is the right way to translate the sentence above, taking into account it is in present tense with the verb TO BE applied to the 3rd person in singular.
<h2>8. Right Answer: <u>Es de frutas</u> "It is (made) of fruit"
</h2>
In <u>Spanish (castillian) </u>the verb TO BE means <em>ser</em> or <em>estar</em>. In this sentence we are talking about the composition (ingredients) of a food, in other words, what is the food made of.
