Esp 3: semana 4

Match

• very

• mucha

• a lot (f.)

• mucho

• a lot (m.)

• muy

• more

• más

Answer explanation

These are commonly confused by English speakers.

Muy - very

Mucho/mucha/muchos/muchas = a lot / much

más - more

menos - less

I have

Answer explanation

You don't need to say "yo" when you say a verb form like "tengo," because it already tells you "who has." Spanish speakers drop the pronouns unless needed for clarification or emphasis.

Bob y yo ___ todos los días.

• hablamos

• hablo

• habla

• hablar

Answer explanation

Well you can't plop in an infinitive, so "hablar" is out. (Bob and I to talk every day... nope).

Many people make the mistake of not READING the whole sentence and they see yo and they're like, "I KNOW THIS!" and they put "hablo." Oops. But I mean... at least you got part of it.

(someone) y yo is equivalent to "nosotros."

(someone) and I is equivalent to "we."

Match the following

• I need

• Hay que

• I must

• Debo

• It's necessary to

• Tengo que

• I would like

• Necesito

• I have to

• Me gustaría

Answer explanation

These are all ways to mention an obligation.

Any of these phrases (already conjugated) would be followed by an infinitive.

Debo escuchar. = I must listen.

Tengo que escuchar. = I have to listen.

Me gustaría escuchar. = I would like to listen.

Necesito escuchar. = I need to listen.

Hay que escuchar. = It's necessary to listen.

• unos perros

• un perros

• unos peros

• un pero

Answer explanation

Remember, "perro" is dog. "pero" is but.

Also the article matches the noun in both gender and number, so if one is plural, so is the other.

No ​ (a)   bien, ​ (b)   me encanta ​ (c)  

• pero
• cantar
• canto
• perro

Answer explanation

The first part is conjugated so that you know it's "I don't sing well."

The second part, "me gusta cantar" needs to be infinitive. I like TO sing. Double verb.

Perro is dog.

also review the chart and these details:

él = he / el = the

Necesito ​ (a)   lápiz, por favor. El mío está roto.

• un
• él
• una
• la
• los

Answer explanation

You just need "a" pencil, you don't care which one. a = un

unos - would be plural. unos lápices

una - would be feminine. You can tell lápiz isn't feminine because it says "el mío" and not "la mía." for mine, and "roto" for broken, not "rota." It's helpful to look for clues like these in the sentence.

él means he.
