Spanish
1 answer:

7 0

Answer :

1. ¿Adónde caminan ellos?

2. ¿De dónde es el profesor de español?

3. ¿Cuántos estudiantes hay en la clase?

4. ¿Quién es compañero de cuarto de Jaime?

5. ¿Dónde es la clase de física?

6. ¿Qué lleva Julia?

7. ¿Cuándo termina el programa de televisión?

8. ¿Por qué estudio biología ?

Explanation:

This exercise is about writing questions in Spanish. Here’s how you do that.

1. Ellos caminan a la biblioteca.

They are walking to the library.

In this first sentence, we want to find out <em>where</em> they are walking. This means we want to know the direction of an action expressed by the verb <em>caminar</em>. In fact, the destination is crucial here, and knowing this helps us choose the correct question word to use.

While one would normally think of <em>dónde</em>, we must remember the destination factor – a la biblioteca. Therefore it is adónde that we are opting for: ¿Adónde caminan ellos?

2. El professor de español es de México.

The Spanish teacher is from Mexico.

What we want to know here is someone’s origin. We learned that it is expressed with the use of the verb <em>ser</em> meaning <em>to be</em> and the preposition de for example: el professor es de México. In order to make a question from the this statement, we should use the question word dónde without forgetting the preposition: ¿De dónde es el profesor de español?  

3. Hay quince estudiantes en clase.

There are fifteen students in class.

Our concern in this sentence is the number of students. There is an adjective we use as a question word to find out the number of countable, and the quantity of uncountable nouns. Student is a countable noun, which means we can count how many of them are there. It is a masculine noun in Spanish and it is in plural form here, so our choice must be <em>cuántos</em>: ¿Cuántos estudiantes hay en la clase?

4. El compañero de caurto de Jaime es Manuel.

Jaime's roommate is Manuel.

We need to know here <em>who</em> Jaime’s roommate is. When the answer to our question is a person, we always use quién. It simply means <em>who</em> and in this sentence it is this simple question we need to make: ¿Quién es compañero de cuarto de Jaime? Remember to put an accent on the e! It is necessary when it comes to question words.  

5. La clase de fisica es en el laboratorio.

The physics class is in the laboratory.

Well, this is an easy one. We need to know the location <em>where</em> the class takes place. Dónde means <em>where</em> and it is just enough in order to find out where something or someone is: ¿Dónde es la clase de física? Remember to use the verb <em>estar</em> when you are asking about the place something or someone is at. Here it is not the case because the class normally takes place in the laboratory. It is not a current location (illustrated by the use of <em>estar</em>) but a general truth.

6. Julia lleva una coputadora portátil.

Julia has a laptop with her.

<em>What</em> does Julia have with her? The laptop is a direct object and when a word a word is a direct object, we must first define if it is a human or a non-human object. Question words normally used for human beings are, as it is mentioned above, quién but for non-humans it’s simply qué, whatever the gender or the number: ¿Qué lleva Julia?

7. El programa de televisión termina en dos horas.

The TV program ends in two hours.

We want to ask <em>when</em> the TV program ends. It means it is a time reference that we need to ask for. The question word required for this is a simple one – cuándo. A complex question word (as we have seen with <em>de dónde</em> or <em>adónde</em>) would be needed if we wanted to know for example <em>since when</em> – desde cuándo. Only <em>cuándo</em> works here: ¿Cuándo termina el programa de televisión?

8. Estudio biología porque hay un examen mañana.

I'm studying biology because I have an exam tomorrow.

The question word we are looking for is right here, in the original sentence! It just needs a little modification. We want to know <em>why</em>: ¿Por qué estudio biología? The right option is por qué – don’t forget the accent!  

When it means <em>because</em>, we write porque, in one word and no accent. But when it means <em>why</em>, it is two words and an accent!  

Accents are important in Spanish. As you can see, they can distinguish a question word from the ones that are not. Happy studying!

<h3>Present Tense in Spanish</h3>

The conjugation of the verbs "ser" and "estar" in present tense, taking into account the personal pronouns is:

  • <em>Yo:</em> soy / estoy
  • <em>Tú:</em> eres / estás
  • <em>Usted:</em> es / está
  • <em>Él:</em> <u>es</u> / <u>está</u>
  • <em>Ella:</em> es / está
  • <em>Ello:</em> es / está
  • <em>Nosotros / Nosotras:</em> somos / estamos
  • <em>Ustedes:</em> son / están
  • <em>Ellos / Ellas:</em> son / están

To identify the appropriate conjugation in each sentence, you must identify the noun in the sentence, replace it with the appropriate personal pronoun, and finally use the corresponding conjugation with the help of the guide above.

Question 1
elixir [45]
1. Yo pongo una B. estampilla en el sobre.
First of all, the article is UNA which means you need a feminine noun, and the only feminine noun among your options is estampilla (stamp). The sentence means - I put a stamp on the envelope. Sello is a seal, and correo is mail. So the correct answer is B.

2. Nosotros A. anduvimos a la oficina.
Anduvimos is the preterite form of the verb andar, which means to work. So the entire sentence means - We work in an office. Pusimos is the preterite form of poner (which means to put) and supimos is the preterite form of saber (which means to know) so as you can see, B and C don't fit.

3. Yo <span>C. mandé la carta a mi amiga en Nicaragua.
Mande is the preterite form of the verb mandar, which means to send. So the sentence means - I sent a card to my friend in Nicaragua. Puse comes from poner and anduve comes from andar (both of which I have already explained) so you can see they don't fit this example.

4. Yo C. puse el sobre en el buzon.
Puse is the preterite form of the verb poner, which means to put. So this sentence means - I put the envelope in a mailbox. Pude is preterite of poder, which means to be able to, and estuve is preterite for estar, which means to be. </span>

En el contexto del artículo, ¿qué significa “Nuestra lengua... los hispanohablantes” (oración 1 del párrafo 1) ?
Tcecarenko [31]

Según el contexto del artículo, el fragmento <em>“Nuestra lengua... los hispanohablantes”</em>:

  • <em>B. </em><u><em>Declara que el español es la herencia mas valiosa de la comunidad hispana</em></u><em>.</em>

<em>El </em><em>idioma español</em><em> en el mundo.</em>

En el artículo se exalta el gran crecimiento y uso que tiene el español alrededor del mundo, el cual ya no es un medio único para los hispanohablantes, sino que puede ser escuchado tanto en canciones como en medios audiovisuales por personas de todo tipo.

Al igual, el autor expone mediante una tabla el número de personas que hablan el idioma español en el mundo, señalando un incremento bastante significativo.

Por último, al mencionar el fragmento <em>"nuestra lengua,"</em> el autor hace una apropiación del idioma lo cual demuestra que lo considera algo valioso, a la vez que incluye a <em>"los hispanohablantes"</em> hace alusión a que toda persona que lo habla, a su vez lo considera la herencia más valiosa.
