Which of the following is the correctly accented Spanish word for "tree"?
arbol
árbol
arbolé
árbòl
Spanish words that are llana (stress on the second-to-last syllable) ending in a consonant other than n or s require a written accent. "Ýrbol" is correct because it places the accent on the "o." Without the accent, the stress would be misplaced.
Which of these sentences is punctuated correctly in Spanish?
Cómo te llamas?
¿Cómo te llamas?
¿Como te llamas?
Como te llamas?
In Spanish, questions must begin with an inverted question mark (¿) and end with a standard question mark (?). Additionally, "cómo" as an interrogative carries an accent. Only "¿Cómo te llamas?" satisfies both rules.
Identify the correctly spelled form of the verb "to have" used as an auxiliary in compound tenses.
haver
haber
abir
aber
The correct infinitive form of the auxiliary verb used in compound tenses (e.g., he comido) is "haber." Forms like "haver" are incorrect in modern Spanish.
In Spanish, if someone is "avergonzada," they are:
pregnant
angry
embarrassed
annoyed
"Avergonzada" means embarrassed or ashamed, not pregnant (embarazada) or angry. It refers to a feeling of shame or discomfort in social situations.
Which sentence uses the object pronoun correctly attached to the infinitive?
Voy a verlo.
Lo voy a ver.
Voy ver lo.
Voy verlo a.
When using an object pronoun with an infinitive, it can be attached directly to the end of the infinitive, as in "verlo." "Voy a verlo" is the correct form in this case.
¿Cuál es la forma correcta? Ellos dependen __ su familia.
en
de
a
con
The verb "depender" in Spanish is followed by the preposition "de" to indicate reliance on something or someone. "Dependen de su familia" is the correct construction.
Which sentence correctly uses the subjunctive mood?
Espero que él venía a la fiesta.
Espero que él venga a la fiesta.
Espero que él vino a la fiesta.
Espero que él viene a la fiesta.
After expressions of desire or hope like "Espero que," Spanish requires the present subjunctive. "Venga" is the subjunctive form of "venir," making it correct.
Choose the correct connector: No solo llegó tarde, __ olvidó el informe.
pero
sino
sino que
porque
When correcting a negative statement, "sino que" is used before a verb. In this sentence, it contrasts being late with forgetting the report.
Which transition best adds information to a previous statement?
sin embargo
además
en contraste
por consiguiente
"Además" means "furthermore" or "in addition" and is used to add information. The other options indicate contrast or consequence.
Which greeting is appropriate for a formal email to a professor?
Hola profe, ¿qué tal?
Estimado Profesor López:
Querido amigo,
Oye, profe
In formal correspondence, you should use "Estimado/a" followed by the title and surname. This shows respect and follows academic conventions.
Which sentence correctly attaches the pronoun to the gerund?
Estoy buscándolo.
Estoy lo buscando.
Lo estoy buscando.
Buscándolo estoy.
With the gerund form, object pronouns are attached to the end of the verb, as in "buscándolo." Placing it before the auxiliary or splitting incorrectly is not standard.
Choose the correctly used form: "__ no viniste ayer?"
Porque
Por que
Por qué
Porqué
In direct questions asking for a reason, "por qué" is written as two words with an accent on "qué." The other forms have different uses.
Which phrase correctly fills the blank? "__ llueva, iremos al parque."
A pesar que
A pesar de que
Aunque
Sin embargo
"A pesar de que" requires the preposition "de" before "que." It conveys "despite the fact that." "Aunque" could also work but was not the target phrase here.
Which sentence best serves as a topic sentence for a paragraph about healthy eating?
Comer frutas y verduras aporta vitaminas y fibra.
Las manzanas son mi fruta favorita.
Además, es importante beber agua.
En conclusión, todos deberíamos comer sano.
A topic sentence introduces the main idea; this option clearly states the benefits of fruits and vegetables, guiding the rest of the paragraph.
Which sentence correctly uses the accent in "té" versus "te"?
Te gusta el té de manzanilla.
Té gusta el te de manzanilla.
Te gusta el te de manzanilla.
Té gusta el té de manzanilla.
"Té" with an accent means the beverage, while "te" without an accent is a pronoun. The correct sentence uses both properly.
Fill in the blank with the correct subjunctive form: "Busco un asistente que __ español nativo."
habla
hable
habló
hablar
When referring to something or someone whose existence is uncertain or desired, Spanish requires the subjunctive. "Hable" is the present subjunctive form of "hablar."
Which is the most appropriate formal version of "¿Cómo estás, amigo?" when writing to a superior?
¿Cómo se siente usted, estimado señor?
¿Cómo te va, compañero?
¿Qué onda, jefe?
Hola amigo, ¿cómo estás?
Formal address uses the pronoun "usted" and respectful titles like "señor." Informal expressions such as "¿Qué onda?" or second-person "tú" are not suitable.
Which connector best expresses cause in a formal written argument?
sin embargo
por lo tanto
ya que
aunque
"Ya que" introduces a cause or reason. The other connectors express contrast ("sin embargo," "aunque") or consequence ("por lo tanto").
Reorder the sentences A - D into the most coherent paragraph.
A-D-C-B
A-C-D-B
D-A-C-B
A-D-B-C
The logical flow is: plan your study time (A), explain that organization reduces stress (D), suggest practicing examples for retention (C), and finally review notes (B).
Fill in the blank with the correct preposition: "Este regalo es __ ti."
por
para
a
por a
"Para" indicates the intended recipient of something. "Por" would express cause or reason, which does not apply to giving a gift.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Master Spanish Comma Usage - Commas in Spanish separate list items, but you skip the comma before "y" in your series. Practice by listing your favorite snacks in Spanish without that extra comma. Comma Rules in Spanish
  2. Understand Inverted Question and Exclamation Marks - Spanish grabs your attention at the start with "¿" or "¡" and wraps up with "?" or "!". This signals right away you're asking a question or shouting with joy. Upside-down Question and Exclamation Marks - Wikipedia
  3. Utilize Semicolons for Related Clauses - Semicolons link closely related independent clauses or appear before conjunctions like "pero" in long sentences. They add a dramatic pause without breaking the flow. Advanced Spanish Punctuation Guide
  4. Apply Colons to Introduce Lists and Quotes - Colons open the door to lists, direct quotes, or to emphasize a punchline at the end of your sentence. Think of them as the spotlight before the main act. Advanced Spanish Punctuation Guide
  5. Recognize Ellipsis for Omitted Text or Suspense - Ellipses (…) show an unfinished thought, build suspense, or replace omitted text in a quote. Use them sparingly to create that mysterious pause. Advanced Spanish Punctuation Guide
  6. Avoid the Oxford Comma in Spanish Lists - Unlike English, Spanish skips the comma before the final "y" in a series. Embrace this simplicity to make your lists feel smooth and natural. Five Spanish Punctuation Reminders
  7. Capitalize Only the First Word in Titles - In Spanish titles you only capitalize the first word and any proper nouns (e.g., "Cien años de soledad"). This keeps your headings sleek and authentic. Spanish Punctuation & Capitalization
  8. Use Commas with Adverbial Expressions - Place commas around adverbial expressions like "sin embargo" or "por ejemplo" to add clarity and rhythm. It's like giving your sentence a brief breath. Advanced Spanish Punctuation Guide
  9. Understand Punctuation with Parentheses - Never place punctuation before an opening parenthesis; instead, the punctuation follows the closing parenthesis if it completes the sentence. It's a tidy way to insert side notes. 8 Simple Rules for Better Writing
  10. Place Periods After Closing Quotation Marks - In Spanish, the period goes after the closing quotation mark, not before. This small change keeps your quotes polished and in line with Spanish style. 8 Simple Rules for Better Writing
