Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 3
This section asks you to choose the person that is best described by each adjective. The first adjective you are given is “blonde”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Out of the four options (Felipe, Gladys, Juan or Rebeca), the one that can best be described as being blonde is Gladys. Notice that we are given the feminine form (*rubia*), which makes sense considering that Gladys is a girl and takes feminine pronouns and adjectives.
Result
3 of 3
Gladys es rubia.
Exercise 2
Step 1
1 of 3
This section asks you to choose the person that is best described by each adjective. The second adjective you are given is timid.
Step 2
2 of 3
This one is a little harder to figure out, but Juan is standing slightly behind his classmates and looks reserved and timid. Compared to the others, he is easily your best answer. Use *es* to connect the subject to the description.
Result
3 of 3
Juan es tĂmido.
Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 3
This section asks you to choose the person that is best described by each adjective. The third adjective you are given is “extroverted”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Felipe is talking on the phone, which is the only real obvious sign of an extrovert that we see in any of the four photos. In addition, *extrovertido* is in the masculine form meaning the subject is male, another sign that Felipe is probably our best option. We will use *es* to connect the subject to the description.
Result
3 of 3
Felipe es extrovertido.
Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 3
This section asks you to choose the person that is best described by each adjective. The fourth adjective you are given is “serious”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Notice that *seria* is in the feminine form, meaning your subject will be a girl. We have two girls in our options, and one is smiling while the other (Rebeca) is looking pensive and serious. You will use *es* to connect the subject with the adjective.
Result
3 of 3
Rebeca es seria.
Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 3
This section asks you to choose the person that is best described by each adjective. The fifth adjective you are given is “dark-haired”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Note that here we are given the masculine form, *moreno*. This means our answer will be one of the two boys. Felipe has red hair, so Juan is the only correct answer. You will use *es* to connect the subject to the adjective.
Result
3 of 3
Juan es moreno.
Exercise 6
Step 1
1 of 3
This section asks you to choose the person that is best described by each adjective. The sixth adjective you are given is “athletic”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Note that we are given the feminine *atlética*, which means that our subject will be one of the girls, Gladys or Rebeca. Gladys is sitting on a soccer field which makes her clearly the correct answer. You will use *es* to connect the subject to the adjective.
Result
3 of 3
Gladys es atlética.
Exercise 7
Step 1
1 of 4
This section asks you to choose the person that is best described by each adjective. The seventh adjective you are given is “intellectual”.
Step 2
2 of 4
*Intelectual* is one of the adjectives that does not have gendered forms. This means we can’t rule out any options on the basis of gender. But clearly, Rebeca is very studious and intellectual based on the fact that she doing homework in the photo.
Step 3
3 of 4
You will use *es* to connect the subject to the adjective.
Result
4 of 4
Rebeca es intelectual.
Exercise 8
Step 1
1 of 4
This section asks you to choose the person that is best described by each adjective. The eighth adjective you are given is “red-haired”.
Step 2
2 of 4
We are given the masculine *pelirrojo* meaning we have narrowed our options down to the two boys. We already established that Juan is brown-haired, and based on the photos, Felipe clearly has red hair.
Step 3
3 of 4
You will again use *es* to connect the subject with the adjective.
Result
4 of 4
Felipe es pelirrojo.
Exercise 9
Step 1
1 of 4
This section asks you to choose the person that is best described by each adjective. The final adjective you are given is “dark-haired”.
Step 2
2 of 4
You’ll remember that we already used the masculine *moreno*, and we are now given the feminine *morena*. This means we can rule out the boys. We already established that Gladys is blonde, and based on the photos Rebeca has dark hair.
Step 3
3 of 4
You will use *es* to connect the subject to the adjective (which must be in the feminine form, don’t forget!).
Result
4 of 4
Rebeca es morena.
