Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Spanish Essentials
Which adjective, when used in the blank, creates a logical and grammatically correct sentence?
Los platos están __________, pues hay que lavarlos.
sucio
sucios
rotos
sucias
sucios
The correct answer is "sucios" (dirty) because it agrees in number and gender with "los platos" and because it makes sense in context. The answer choice "rotos" (broken) wouldn't make sense because there's no reason to wash broken plates.
English translation: "The plates are dirty, so one must wash them."
Example Question #2 : Spanish Vocabulary: Adjectives
Which adjective properly completes the sentence?
El dispositivo electrónico no está cargando; me parece que estar __________.
involucrado
calificado
roto
maltratado
roto
Based on context, only "roto," which means broken, would fit in this sentence. "Calificado" means qualified or proven, "maltratado" means mistreated or abused, and "involucrado" means involved (in something).
English translation: "The electronic device is not charging; it seems to me that it is broken."
Example Question #1 : Spanish Vocabulary: Adjectives
Which adjective properly completes the sentence?
No tengo hermanos; soy un hijo _______.
único
únicos
segundo
primera
único
Both "único" (only) and "segundo" (second) agree in number and gender with "hijo;" however, only "único" (only) fits in context, as it would not make sense for someone to say that they are an "hijo segundo" (second child) if that person is claiming not to have any siblings.
English translation: "I do not have siblings; I am an only child."
Example Question #1 : Comparative And Superlative Adjectives In Spanish
Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
Esta cama es __________ que esa cama.
peora
más mal
más peor
peor
la peor
peor
The correct answer is "peor." "Peor" is the comparative version of the adjective "mal," so "más mal" and "más peor" cannot exist in Spanish. Likewise because of the context, "la peor;" "the worst" cannot be used in a comparison, only as a superlative. "Peor" is an adjective that does not change based on gender, so "peora" is also wrong.
Example Question #1 : Spanish Essentials
Fill in the blanks with the correct answer.
Tengo __________ del mundo.
el perro mejor
el mejore perro
el perro más bueno
el más buen perro
el mejor perro
el mejor perro
The superlative version of the adjective "bueno;" "good" is "el mejor." "Mejor" goes before the noun.
Example Question #1 : Ap Spanish Language
Which of the following words would NOT be used to describe “las ventanas”?
Cerradas
Rotas
Graciosas
Abiertas
Graciosas
Las ventanas means “windows” in English; therefore, abiertas (open), cerradas (closed), and rotas (broken) could all be used to describe windows. Graciosas (funny) is an adjective more commonly used to describe people.
Example Question #1 : Spanish Vocabulary: Nouns
Which of these is the correct object of the verb?
Monté a __________ y salí del rancho.
caballo
paloma
coche
cerdo
caballo
Montar is the verb used to get on, or ride, a horse or mule; thus the only valid option is caballo.
Example Question #1 : Ap Spanish Language
Which noun best completes the sentence?
Mi madre no puede cocinar, porque __________ no está funcionando.
el horno
la puerta
la radio
el armario
el horno
The question translates to "my mother cannot cook because __________ isn't working." The only logical answer is that el horno, the oven, isn't working.
Example Question #1 : Ap Spanish Language
Which of these is the correct object of the verb?
Conduje mi __________ a mi oficina ayer.
coche
cerdo
maquina
casa
coche
"Conducir" means to drive a vehicle, so the only correct answer in formal Spanish from the list above is "coche," car. While "maquina" is sometimes used informally for vehicle, it is not formal Spanish. "Cerdo" means pig, and "casa" means house.
English translation: "I drove my car to my office yesterday."
Example Question #1 : Nouns In Spanish
Which word does not belong in this group?
La paz
El acuerdo
La guerra
La amistad
La guerra
The question asks the student if they are familiar with various vocabulary words used throughout their Spanish studies. "La paz" (peace), "la amistad" (friendship), and "el acuerdo" (agreement) all fit together; however, "la guerra" (war) represents conflict and does not belong in this group.
