<h2>1. Correct answer:</h2><h3>mal</h3>
This is the more logical answer because <em>María is sad, </em>accordingly<em> she's upset</em> (ella está mal). So mal is an adjective that can be translated here as upset. Recall that an adjective is a word that gives us more information about a noun or pronoun. The other adjectives are bien that means fine, alegre that means happy and emocionada that means excited. Finally:
<em>María está triste. Ella está</em><em> mal</em>
<h2>2. Correct answer:</h2><h3>están</h3>
Están is the conjugation of the verb estar for the third person singular in the simple present tense. Here the verb estar is being used as<em> emotion, </em>so we can use this verb to express what a person is feeling at a certain moment. On the other hand, mis sobrinos means my nephews and they are happy. Finally:
<em>
Mis sobrinos </em><em>están </em><em>alegres</em>
<h2>3. Correct answer:</h2><h3>sesenta</h3>
When telling the age in English we use the verb to be, but in Spanish we must use the verb tener. So tengo is the conjugation of the verb tener for the first person singular in the simple present. On the other hand, sesenta is a number that means sixty in English. Finally, we can write this sentence as follows:
<em>Yo tengo </em><em>sesenta</em><em> años</em>
<h2>4. Correct answer:</h2><h3>perezosa</h3>
Perezosa is an adjective that means lazy. Since adjectives must agree with the noun or pronoun they describe in both number and gender, then we must choose the feminine singular form of the Spanish adjective that translates into lazy because Teresa is a feminine singular noun. So perezosa is also a feminine singular adjective. Finally, we can write this sentence as follows:
<em>Teresa es </em><em>perezosa</em>
<h2>5. Correct answer:</h2><h3>Trabajadoras</h3>
Trabajadoras is an adjective that means workers. Since adjectives must agree with the noun or pronoun they describe in both number and gender, then we must choose the feminine plural form of the Spanish adjective that translates into workers because Camila y yo is a feminine plural noun. So trabajadoras is also a feminine plural adjective. Finally, we can write this sentence as follows:
<em>Camila y María son </em><em>trabajadoras</em>
<h2>6. Correct answer:</h2><h3>me gusta</h3>
Me is the indirect object pronoun that matches the first person singular. An Indirect Object Pronoun is a person that receives the action of a verb indirectly. Its purpose is to tell you <em>to whom</em> or<em> for whom</em> something is done. So in this sentence the action is being performed <em>for me, </em>that's why we choose me. On the other hand, gusta is the conjugation of the verb gustar for the third person singular in the simple present. Finally:
<em>A mí </em><em>me gusta </em><em>el día de las madres.</em>
<h2>7. Correct answer:</h2><h3>son</h3>
Son is is the conjugation of the verb ser for the third person plural (for mis abuelos can be replaced by the subject pronoun for this person, which is ellos) in the simple present. Here the verb ser is being used as <em>characteristic,</em> that are personality descriptions of a person. Finally, we can write this sentence as follows:
<em>
Mis abuelos </em><em>son</em><em> muy amables</em>
<h2>8. Correct answer:</h2><h3>3, 1, 4, 2</h3>
The order of the words that makes a complete sentence is as follows:
<em>La doctora es amable</em>
So this sentence means in English:
<em>The doctor is friendly</em>
So es is the conjugation of the verb ser that matches the third person singular in the simple present. Here the verb ser is also being used as <em>characteristic</em>
<h2>9. Correct answer:</h2><h3>somos</h3>
First of all, this is a negative sentence. Negations using no is the most basic type of Spanish verb negation. To make a sentence negative, just place the word no before the conjugated verb. The conjugated verb here is somos that comes from the verb ser and is its conjugation for the fist person plural in the simple present. The verb ser is being used here as <em>occupation </em>that is basically what someone does for a living or as a hobby. Finally:
<em>Nosotros no </em><em>somos</em><em> abogados</em>
