About

This quiz focuses on Spanish grammar, specifically the formation and usage of affirmative tú commands (informal commands). Designed for middle to high school students in Spanish II or III courses (typically grades 8-11), this assessment covers the essential rules for creating commands used with friends, family members, and other familiar individuals. Students must understand that regular affirmative tú commands are formed by using the third-person singular (él/ella/usted) form of the present tense, resulting in endings of -a for -ar verbs and -e for -er/-ir verbs. The quiz thoroughly addresses irregular command forms such as ten (tener), ven (venir), di (decir), haz (hacer), sé (ser), pon (poner), and ve (ir), with particular attention to the accent mark required only for sé. Students need solid comprehension of stem-changing verbs, which maintain their stem changes in command forms, and must demonstrate both recognition of correct forms and translation skills from English to Spanish in practical contexts. Created by Jennifer Ferguson, a World Languages teacher in the US who teaches grades 7-10. This comprehensive quiz serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a formative assessment tool after introducing affirmative tú commands, as homework practice to reinforce classroom learning, or as a review activity before summative testing. Teachers can utilize this resource during warm-up activities to activate prior knowledge or as exit ticket material to gauge student understanding at lesson's end. The progressive structure moves from conceptual understanding through rule application to practical translation, making it ideal for differentiated instruction and identifying specific areas where students need additional support. This assessment aligns with ACTFL World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages, particularly Communication Standard 1.1 (interpersonal communication) and Standard 1.3 (presentational communication), while supporting state standards such as those found in TEKS §114.38-40 for Spanish levels II-III.
