The correct answer and explanation is:
- Sentence Evaluation:
- Sentence: Hace dos meses que vivo en Texas.
- Correct/Incorrect: Correct
- Explanation: The sentence “Hace dos meses que vivo en Texas” is correct. It uses the structure hace + time expression + que + present tense to indicate an action that began in the past and continues to the present. This structure is commonly used in Spanish to express the duration of an ongoing action. In this case, “hace dos meses” means “two months ago,” and the phrase indicates that the speaker has been living in Texas for two months.
- Completing the Sentence with the Correct Word:
- Sentence: Susana __________ al mall el domingo.
- Correct Answer: fue
- Explanation: The verb fue is the correct form of ir (to go) in the preterite tense. Since the action refers to something that happened in the past (“el domingo” indicates a past event), the preterite tense is appropriate here. The sentence translates to “Susana went to the mall on Sunday.”
- Completing the Sentence with the Correct Word:
- Sentence: A Pablo ___________ encanta cantar.
- Correct Answer: le
- Explanation: The correct pronoun here is le, which is used with verbs like encantar to indicate who likes something. The verb encantar is typically used in the third person, and the indirect object pronoun le is needed to indicate that Pablo is the one who enjoys singing. The sentence translates to “Pablo loves singing.”
- Choosing the Best Answer to the Question:
- Question: ¿Adónde vamos para ahorrar (save) nuestro dinero?
- Correct Answer: Vamos al banco.
- Explanation: The question asks where the speaker is going to save money. Among the options, “vamos al banco” (we go to the bank) is the most logical answer, as banks are where money is typically saved. The other options are not places where you would usually save money.
- Conjugating the Verb in the Imperfect Tense:
- Sentence: Los dinosaurios ________ animales muy grandes.
- Correct Answer: eran
- Explanation: The verb ser in the imperfect tense is used to describe characteristics or habitual actions in the past. The correct form here is eran, which is the third-person plural form of ser in the imperfect tense. The sentence translates to “The dinosaurs were very large animals.”
- Identifying Renato’s Residence:
- Sentence: ¿Dónde vive Renato?
- Correct Answer: Renato vive en el apartamento número diez.
- Explanation: The sentence is asking where Renato lives. The correct answer is “Renato vive en el apartamento número diez,” which means “Renato lives in apartment number ten.” The other options (“aspiradora,” “despertador,” and “barre”) do not make sense in this context as they refer to unrelated objects.
