<h2>1. Right answer:</h2><h3>Pablo y Julio están en el baño</h3><h3 />
In this sentence, we are asking for the place where Pablo and Julio are. So, here we use the verb estar as location that describes where a person or thing is permanently or temporarily. Hence the word están comes from the verb estar and is the conjugation of this verb for the third person plural in the simple present.
<h2>2. Right answer:</h2><h3>Ellos llevan un lápiz y una libreta</h3><h3 />
This sentence also stands for the simple present. It is important to say that the simple present is used to talk about habitual actions or routines. This tense is also used to describe things that happen now or in the near future. So llevan is the conjugation of the verb llevar (to carry) for the third person plural in the simple present.
<h2>3. Right answer:</h2><h3>El hotel es grande y muy bonito</h3><h3 />
Here we want to know the characteristics of the hotel. For this purpose, we need to use the verb ser as descriptions that talks about the essential qualities that describe a person or things like names, nationalities, physical descriptions and religions. In this way, we say that the hotel is big (grande) and very nice (muy bonito).
<h2>4. Right answer:</h2><h3>Se puede jugar en las canchas de tenis</h3><h3 />
Here we know that the hotel has a swimming pool. Thus, we want to know the other things this hotel has for having fun. Hence this hotel has tennis courts
. Canchas de tenis is given in plural form, so we assume that there are at least two tennis courts
<h2>5. Right answer:</h2><h3>Julio quiere ver a las chicas en la piscina</h3><h3 />
Julio wants to go to the swimming pool, why? perhaps he wants to see girls at the swimming pool. In this sentence, the word quiere comes from the verb querer (to want) and is the conjugation of this verb for the third person singular in the simple present. The other verb in this sentence is ver, which is given in the infinitive form. These types of verbs are the most basic form of verbs in Spanish.
<h2>6. Right answer:</h2><h3>Tienen doble con un cuarto de baño privado</h3><h3 />
We want to know here the type of room the boys are staying in. So they are staying in a double room, which is a room in a hotel with two beds. In this sentence, the word tienen comes from the verb tener and is the conjugation of this verb for the third person plural in the simple present. We also know that this room has a private bathroom.
<h2>7. Right answer:</h2><h3>Necesitan dos llaves porque Julio quiere una también</h3><h3 />
The question here is <em>why do they need two set of keys? </em>so the answer is because Julio also wants a key. Here the word necesitan comes from the verb necesitar and is the conjugation of this verb for the third person plural in the simple present. On the other hand, since the noun llave is feminine and singular, we use the feminine and singular indefinite article, which is una.
<h2>8. Right answer:</h2><h3>Pablo va a pagar con una tarjeta de crédito.</h3><h3 />
In this sentence, we want to know what is the payment method Pablo will use to pay something. Therefore, he will pay using a credit card. So the sentence <em>Pablo va a pagar con una tarjeta de crédito </em>means <em>Pablo is going to pay with a credit card, </em>so <em>tarjeta de crédito </em>translates into <em>credit card.</em>
<h2>9. Right answer:</h2><h3>Juilo quiere cambiar un cheque de viajero para su familia.</h3><h3 />
In this sentence, we want to know why Julio wants to change a <em>traveler's check (cheque de viajero), </em>which is a check for a fixed amount that you can cash or use in payment after endorsement with the holder's signature. Therefore, Julio wants to change a traveler's check for his family.
<h2>10. Right answer:</h2><h3>Ellas bajan en el ascensor</h3><h3 />
Here we have replaced the noun <em>las muchachas </em>by the subject pronoun for the third person singular in feminine form <em>ellas. </em>These girls are in a building and want to go down. Therefore, they use the <em>elevator </em><em>(ascensor), </em>which is a platform or compartment housed in a shaft for raising and lowering people or things to different floors or level usually in a building.
<h2>11. Right answer:</h2><h3>Las muchachas van a jugar tenis</h3><h3 />
It is common not to change the noun of a sentence by the corresponding subject pronoun when answering a question. Here we have answered this question using the same noun<em> las muchachas. </em>We could have answered this question as <em>Ellas van a jugar tenis </em>or simply <em>van a jugar tenis </em>because in Spanish it is common to remove the subject pronoun of a sentence if we know the context of it.
<h2>12. Right answer:</h2><h3>La habitación de Julio y Pablo está en el primer piso</h3><h3 />
In this sentence, we are asking for one room. Therefore, the conjugation of the verb must be given in singular form and since we are asking for <em>the room, </em>this conjugation also must match the third person. Since this exercise stands for <em>location, </em>describing where a thing is permanently, we use the word está that comes from the verb estar and is the conjugation for the third person singular of this verb in the simple present.
