Question

Which adjective should be used in front of the noun “día”?

“Espero que tengas un __________ día.”

Answer

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.

Question

Fill in the blank with the correct answer.

Esta cama es __________ que esa cama.

Answer

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.

Question

Fill in the blanks

Si yo __________ tú, yo __________ a mi tía.

Answer

Translated, this answer means, "If I were you, I would visit my aunt." Since this is a statement contrary to fact, the past subjunctive is needed. The correct past subjunctive in the 1st person singular of ser is "fuera." The correct tense in the next clause of the sentence is the conditional, which is "visitaría."

Question

Fill in the blank with the correct answer.

—¿Quieres leer un libro a Marta?

—Ya estoy __________.

Answer

The correct gerund of "leer" is "leyendo." This is due to the double-object pronoun; the indirect "le"-to her and "lo"- it (the book) are next to each other, so the "le" must change to "se." Indirect objects always come before direct objects.
