Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Spanish Essentials
Which of these is the correct object of the verb?
Monté a __________ y salí del rancho.
caballo
cerdo
coche
paloma
caballo
Montar is the verb used to get on, or ride, a horse or mule; thus the only valid option is caballo.
Example Question #2 : Spanish Essentials
Which noun best completes the sentence?
Mi madre no puede cocinar, porque __________ no está funcionando.
la puerta
la radio
el horno
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 #3 : Spanish Essentials
Which of these is the correct object of the verb?
Conduje mi __________ a mi oficina ayer.
cerdo
casa
maquina
coche
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."
