<h2>8. Correct answer:</h2><h3>A. Yo viajaba cada día. </h3><h3 />
This is the correct answer because this sentence is given in <em>the imperfect tense</em>. Recall that the imperfect is used to talk about past actions, conditions, or events that occurred regularly or frequently or that were in progress in a moment in the past. So viajaba is the conjugation of the verb viajar for the first person singular in the imperfect. Therefore,<em> I used to travel every day.</em>
<h2>9. Correct answer:</h2><h3>B. El enfermo se sentía mal, pero ahora está mejor. </h3><h3 />
Sentía is the conjugation of the verb sentir for the third person singular in the imperfect. So someone was sick this were an event in progress in a moment in the past, but now this person feels better, so the second part of the sentence is given in the simple present and está comes from the verb estar for the third person singular in the simple present.
<h2>10. Correct answer:</h2><h3>los</h3>
We need to fill in the blank with the correct <em>definite article</em>. Recall that the definite article is used when thinking that the reader or listener knows which particular thing or person we are talking about. Since verdes is a masculine plural noun, the matching definite article is los. Finally:
<em>No. Quiero</em><em> los </em><em>verdes.</em>
<h2>11. Correct answer:</h2><h3>el</h3>
We need to fill in the blank with the correct <em>definite article</em>. Since viejo is a masculine singular noun, we use the matching definite article el. We can use almost any adjective in Spanish as if they were nouns, this is the case of viejo. If we want to use an adjective as a noun, we simply add an article that must match the noun it refers to in both gender and number. This can be translated into English using the formula <em>The + adjective + one. </em>Finally:
<em>No. Quiero </em><em>el</em><em> viejo</em>
<h2>12. Correct answer:</h2><h3>las</h3>
We need to fill in the blank with the correct <em>definite article</em>. Since españolas is a masculine plural noun, we use the matching definite article las. In this case, we also use the adjective españolas as a noun. It is important to say here that this answer and 10 and 11 are negative sentences. Negation is an expression that means <em>no</em> and is used to contradict some or all of the meaning of a positive sentence.
<em>No. Quiero </em><em>las </em><em>españolas</em>
<h2>13. Correct answer:</h2><h3>B. You should think and then speak.</h3>
This is saying (this translates into refrán in Spanish) and is a well-known statements about what often happens in life. So it is important that you think the things you'd say and then you can speak. This will make you a wise person helping you to avoid misunderstandings.
<h2>14. Correct answer:</h2><h3>A. El hombre se lo presenta</h3>
In this sentence we use both an indirect object pronoun and a direct object pronoun. An <em>Indirect Object Pronoun</em> is a person that receives the action of a verb indirectly. Its purpose is to tell you to whom or for whom something is done. On the other hand, a direct object pronoun replaces a direct object, that is a noun that directly receives the action of a verb in a sentence. In this case, the indirect object pronouns le changes to se when followed by the direct object pronouns lo, so the combination is se lo. The direct object in this sentence is <em>su padre </em>and the indirect object is<em> el grupo.</em>
<h2>15. Correct answer:</h2><h3>B. La maestra nos lo da</h3>
In this sentence we use both an indirect object pronoun and a direct object pronoun as well. So <em>for whom does the teacher give an exam? </em>the answer is <em>for us. </em>So nos is the indirect object pronoun for the first person plural. The direct object is <em>un examen </em>receiving the action in a direct form.
