An infinitive in English usually starts with the word "to."
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
An infinitive in English usually starts with the word "to." This means that when forming an infinitive verb, the word "to" is typically used before the base form of the verb. For example, "to run," "to eat," "to sleep." This is a common rule in English grammar and helps to identify and distinguish infinitive verbs in a sentence.Rate this question:

When you answer a question negatively in Spanish you usually use the word no twice.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In Spanish, when answering a question negatively, it is common to use the word "no" twice. This is known as the double negative. Using two "no" words in a negative sentence is grammatically correct and emphasizes the negation. For example, if someone asks "¿No tienes ningún libro?" (Don't you have any books?), the correct negative response would be "No, no tengo ningún libro" (No, I don't have any books). This repetition of "no" is a linguistic feature in Spanish that distinguishes negative responses from affirmative ones.Rate this question:

Adjectives in Spanish usually have different masculine and feminine forms.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In Spanish, adjectives usually have different forms for masculine and feminine nouns. This is because Spanish is a gendered language, where nouns are either masculine or feminine. Adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. For example, the adjective "alto" (tall) has a masculine form "alto" and a feminine form "alta". So, if you want to describe a masculine noun, you would use the masculine form of the adjective, and if you want to describe a feminine noun, you would use the feminine form. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:
