1.If I had a picture of a family having fun in the snow-I'm not sure how to say that--
a.La familia divertirse en la nieve
b.La familia se divertir en la nieve
c.La familia diviertese en la nieve
d.La familia se divierte en la nieve I think it is (a)
2. If a muchacho is looking in a mirror and combing his hair which one would be correct
a.El muchacho se lava el pelo
b.El muchacho se mira y se peina
c.El muchacho se cepilla
d.El muchacho se peina los dientes.
I elimnated a and d. I think it is (b) but I'm not sure because it doesn't say he is looking in the mirror-just that he is looking and combing his hair. It has to be either (b) or (c) I think-
These pictures are confusing me along with reflexives I should have waited for high school to do this I think-
1. Essential in Spanish is that a verb must be conjugated to match the subject. The family is having fun/does have fun in the snow. The answer is d, because it's the only conjugated (with person-number ending) verb there.
2. It is positively b. looks at himself and is combing his hair. The reflexive verb (SE mira) says he is looking at HIMSELF. If he were merely looking you would NOT see the reflexive SE.
Feel free to ask about anything you do not totally understand!

To answer the first question, you want to say "The family is having fun in the snow." Let's break down the options you provided:
a. "La familia divertirse en la nieve" - This is not the correct form. The verb "divertirse" is reflexive and should be conjugated as "se divierte." So this option is incorrect.
b. "La familia se divertir en la nieve" - This option is close, but the verb "divertir" should be conjugated as "se divierte." So this option is also incorrect.
c. "La familia diviertese en la nieve" - The correct form is "divierte," not "diviertese." So this option is incorrect.
d. "La familia se divierte en la nieve" - This is the correct form. The verb "divertir" has been correctly conjugated as "se divierte." So you are correct, the answer is (d).
Now moving on to the second question:
a. "El muchacho se lava el pelo" - This translates to "The boy washes his hair." This option does not mention combing the hair, so it is incorrect.
b. "El muchacho se mira y se peina" - This translates to "The boy looks at himself and combs his hair." This option mentions both looking and combing hair, so it seems to be the most appropriate choice for the given scenario.
c. "El muchacho se cepilla" - This translates to "The boy brushes." It does not specify what he is brushing, so it may not be the most accurate choice in this context.
d. "El muchacho se peina los dientes" - This translates to "The boy brushes his teeth." Clearly, this option is irrelevant to combing hair.
Based on the given scenario, option (b) "El muchacho se mira y se peina" is the most suitable. It mentions both looking and combing hair, which aligns with the situation of the boy looking in the mirror and combing his hair.
It's great that you are trying to understand and learn these concepts early on! Don't worry, with practice and guidance, you will become more comfortable with them.
