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.
sucios
sucio
sucias
rotos
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 Essentials
Which adjective properly completes the sentence?
El dispositivo electrónico no está cargando; me parece que estar __________.
maltratado
involucrado
calificado
roto
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 #3 : Spanish Essentials
Which adjective properly completes the sentence?
No tengo hermanos; soy un hijo _______.
primera
segundo
único
únicos
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
peor
la peor
más mal
más 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 #2 : Comparative And Superlative Adjectives In Spanish
Fill in the blanks with the correct answer.
Tengo __________ del mundo.
el más buen perro
el perro más bueno
el mejore perro
el mejor perro
el perro mejor
el mejor perro
The superlative version of the adjective "bueno;" "good" is "el mejor." "Mejor" goes before the noun.
Example Question #6 : Spanish Essentials
Which of the following words would NOT be used to describe “las ventanas”?
Abiertas
Graciosas
Rotas
Cerradas
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 : Adjectives In Spanish
Which adjective should be used in front of the noun “día”?
“Espero que tengas un __________ día.”
Bueno
Buen
Buena
Bien
Buen
The noun “día” is masculine and singular. Whenever the adjective “bueno” is directly in front of a masculine/singular noun, it is shortened to “buen.” Bien is an adverb.
