Back up! Have you done the "steps" which are: 1) look at the Spanish 2) translate into English 3) answer FIRST in English 4) write the Spanish 5) No look at the answer to see if it will elicit the question. NO SHORT CUTS FOR YOU. This is because you have difficulty selecting the correct answer to a question. Let's take no 4445. .

1. Me gusta mucho el helado. Siempre lo ____ de postre.
2. I like icecream a lot. Always ..?..it as dessert.
ABCD: 1. a. pide
b. pido
c. pides
d. pedir
2. he asks, I ask, you ask, to ask for
3. I always ask for (order) it as dessert.
4. Now, surely you can do it?

45. sí
46. Why are you NOT sure? Look at the subject: los estudiantes = ellos. What form of the verb goes with 3rd person plural? Try again .

48. sí
49. Look at the PLURAL subject = Martra y Joaquín = ellos. You selected the verb going with tú. Try again.

50. sí
52. At first glance it SEEMS all fit. Now look at the direct object "lo" which gives you the number and gender of the noun. Try again.

53. No. Now look carefully at the punctuation. Is Abuela the subject? YES. If we were talking TO HER the punctuation would have been: "Abuelita, nosotros........." Try again!

55. sí

It's a bit discouraging for me to see that you are making the SAME errors we have gone over. What do you think?

Good Grief = look at how long I have waited for you! From 12:40 and now it's 8:30.

49. b; 50. d; 52. a.; 53. c; 55. a;

Great job! Let's go through the answers to each question and explain how to arrive at the correct answers:

44. Me gusta mucho el helado. Siempre lo ____ de postre.
In this sentence, we need to choose the correct form of the verb "pedir" (to order/ask for). The subject is "yo" (I), so we need to select the form that matches this. The correct answer is "b. pido".

45. Me gusta leer. Por eso ________ saco libros de la biblioteca.
Here, we need to choose the correct adverb to complete the sentence, indicating how often the person borrows books from the library. The correct answer is "a. a menudo" (often).

46. Compraron los churros que los estudiantes ______.
This sentence is incomplete, and it is missing a verb. To determine the correct form, we need to understand the context. Since the churros were bought by someone else, the correct answer is "d. vendieron" (they sold).

48. El sótano está _____ del primer piso.
Here, we need to choose the correct preposition to complete the sentence, indicating the position of the basement relative to the first floor. The correct answer is "a. debajo" (underneath).

Great job with your answers! Keep practicing and you'll get even better at understanding and choosing the correct options. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
