Sí, lo tienes
- B.
Sí, te tengo
- C.
Sí, la tienes
- D.
Sí, la tengo
Correct Answer
D. Sí, la tengoExplanation
The correct answer is "Sí, la tengo" because the question is asking if the person has their suitcase. In Spanish, "maleta" is a feminine noun, so the correct pronoun to use is "la" to refer to it. The verb "tener" means "to have", and in this case, it is conjugated to "tengo" to match the subject "yo" (I). Therefore, the correct response is "Sí, la tengo" meaning "Yes, I have it."Rate this question:

Sí, tengolo
- B.

- A.
Sí, voy a facturarla
- B.

- C.

- D.

Correct Answer
C. Sí, voy a facturarloExplanation
The correct answer is "Sí, voy a facturarlo." This is because the subject of the sentence is "yo" (I), and the verb "facturar" (to check in) needs to agree with the subject. Therefore, the correct form of the verb is "facturarlo" (to check it in), as it refers to the luggage (equipaje) mentioned in the question.Rate this question:

Choose whether or not the following sentence needs an "a personal". Veo _________ Luisa. Está en la puerta ocho.

A

X
Correct Answer
B. XExplanation
The sentence "Busco _________ la puerta. Carmen está alli?" does not need "a personal" because the word "personal" is not necessary to convey the meaning of the sentence. The sentence is asking if Carmen is there, so adding "a personal" would not change the meaning or improve the sentence.Rate this question:

The Direct Object pronoun takes the place of the noun.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
True. A direct object pronoun is a type of pronoun that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. It is used to avoid repeating the noun and to make the sentence less repetitive. For example, in the sentence "She ate the cake," "the cake" is the direct object, and it can be replaced with the pronoun "it" to say "She ate it." In this case, "it" is the direct object pronoun that takes the place of "the cake."Rate this question:

The direct object is always a person.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
False. The direct object in Spanish is not always a person. The direct object is simply the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb directly. It can refer to a person, thing, or even an idea. In contrast, the indirect object refers to the recipient of the action.
Example: Juan (person) golpeó la pelota (thing). (Juan hit the ball.) In this sentence, "la pelota" is the direct object because it is what Juan hit. It's a thing, not a person.Rate this question:
