In this question, you’re asked to rewrite the sentences with the correct accents and punctuation marks. This sentence, in English, reads “Good morning, Miss”

Part of learning the Spanish language is simply memorizing where accents fall in words. One of the best things you can do is to practice speaking as much as possible and saying the words with the correct accentuation.

On page 8 you learned greetings, so revisit there if you need help remembering that there is an accent above the “i” in *días* and a tilde above the “n” in *señorita*.

Finally, as this is a sentence, we’ll need to end it with a period. Other than that, no other punctuation is needed (the comma between *días* and *señorita* is already included).

Buenos días, señorita.

In this question, you’re asked to rewrite the sentences with the correct accents and punctuation marks. This sentence, in English, reads “How are you sir”

Back on page 8 we learned how to ask how someone is. *Cómo* and *está(s)* are two words that appear frequently, and you should commit the spellings and accents to memory.
Much like *señorita* in the first question, we know *señor* needs a tilde to create the “ny” sound.

Finally, we need to make sure the punctuation is correct. Since this is a question, we’ll need to add the question mark at the end AND the upside down question mark at the beginning.
In addition, if you say the sentence out loud in English OR in Spanish, you’ll notice that it is natural to take a pause between the question and the subject (*señor*), so we’ll add a comma. The sentence also appears correct this way.

¿Cómo está usted, señor?

In this question, you’re asked to rewrite the sentences with the correct accents and punctuation marks. This sentence, in English, reads “how’s it going”

Back on page 8 you learned that “how’s it going?” is a colloquial way of asking how a friend is doing. Much like in English, you wouldn’t use this phrase towards a teacher or other adult.
*Qué* is another one of those words in Spanish that is super crucial to know how to spell and say correctly.

So we know that *Qué* needs an accent on the “e”, and *tal* doesn’t need any accents at all. But, this phrase is also a question (“How’s it going?”), so we’ll need to remember to add the question mark at the end and the upside down question mark at the beginning.

¿Qué tal?

In this question, you’re asked to rewrite the sentences with the correct accents and punctuation marks. This sentence, in English, reads “Nice to meet you”

This one is a little bit of a trick question, since neither word in the sentence in Spanish actually needs any accents or tildes.
That being said, since these are sentences, it does need some kind of punctuation. When we learned this phrase back on page 10, we learned it with a period, so this is how we will end the sentence here.

Mucho gusto.

In this question, you’re asked to rewrite the sentences with the correct accents and punctuation marks. This sentence, in English, reads “What time is it”

Much like question 3, this question uses the word *Qué*, which at this point we should know takes an accent above the “e”. Page 20 has this phrase across the top if you need a refresher, but it’s important to commit to memory as this is a very useful phrase to know in Spanish. The rest of the words do not take any modification.

As this is a question (“What time is it?”) we need to remember the question mark at the end of the sentence and the upside down question mark at the beginning.

¿Qué hora es?

In this question, you’re asked to rewrite the sentences with the correct accents and punctuation marks. This sentence, in English, reads “Where are you from”

This is another phrase we learned earlier on in the chapter, on page 11. “Where” in Spanish is a very useful word, so commit its spelling to memory (*dónde* takes an accent over the “o”).

As this is a question, we need to remember both the question mark at the end and the upside down question mark at the beginning.

¿De dónde eres?

In this question, you’re asked to rewrite the sentences with the correct accents and punctuation marks. This sentence, in English, reads “What is your phone number”

There are two words in the sentence that will require accents. Say the sentences out loud and see if you can figure out which ones.
The first is an important word we learned when asking “What is your phone number?” or “What is your email address?”. That word is *cuál*.

The second word that requires an accent may not be what you think it is. You may think it’s *tu*, but when *tu* means “your” (as opposed to “you”), it doesn’t take an accent. This is why *Y tú* (“and YOU”) takes an accent but *tu amigo* (“YOUR friend”) does not.
The second word is actually *teléfono*, that takes an accent on the second “e”.

Finally, since this is question, we need the important ending and beginning question marks.

¿Cuál es tu teléfono?

In this question, you’re asked to rewrite the sentences with the correct accents and punctuation marks. This sentence, in English, reads “My name is Pedro”

This is another trick question, as none of these words actually need any modifications to be spelled correctly. The only missing aspect of this sentence is the punctuation at the end. This is a generic statement and not a question or exclamation, so it will simply take a period at the end.

Me llamo Pedro.

In this question, you’re asked to rewrite the sentences with the correct accents and punctuation marks. This sentence, in English, reads “Hello What is your name”

We’ll start with accents and tildes before diving into punctuation. This phrase, “What is your name” is one you’ve encountered a lot so far in this textbook. If you need a refresher on where the accents fall, look on page 6. Better yet, commit to memory the fact that the only word that needs an accent is *Cómo*, over the first “o”.

You’ll notice that the first two words are both capitalized. This tells us that the first word is a sentence and the final three words are their own sentence. “Hello” is simply a statement and should be ended with a period. “What is your name?” on the other hand is a question and requires both the beginning and ending question marks.

Hola. ¿Cómo te llamas?

In this question, you’re asked to rewrite the sentences with the correct accents and punctuation marks. This sentence, in English, reads “He is a classmate”

This is one of those “subject + *ser* + description” sentences that we’ve seen so often. This means that *Él* at the beginning means “he” and not “the” which means it needs an accent. The only other modification will be a tilde, to make the “ny” sound. *Compañero* is clearly the word that needs the tilde, as we learned this word way back on page 10.

Finally, the sentence simply needs a period at the end to finish this question off.

Él es un compañero de clase.

In this question, you’re asked to rewrite the sentences with the correct accents and punctuation marks. This sentence, in English, reads “Who is the science teacher”

On page 10 we learned the vocabulary for “science teacher” and how to ask who someone is. All the question words (who, what, where, when, why) are all very important to know, so commit to memory the fact that *quién* takes an accent over the “e”.

Since this is a question (we are asking someone if they know who the science teacher is), we need to remember both the beginning and ending question marks.

¿Quién es la profesora de ciencias?

In this question, you’re asked to rewrite the sentences with the correct accents and punctuation marks. This sentence, in English, reads “How are you”

In question two we established that *Cómo* takes an accent over the first “o”. The conjugations of *estar* are important to know as this is another verb, like *ser*, that means “to be”. The *tú* form of *estar* is *estás*, with an accent over the “a”.

Finally, this is a question (“How are you?”) so we need to remember the “¿” before the sentence and the “?” at the end.

¿Cómo estás?

In this question, you’re asked to rewrite the sentences with the correct accents and punctuation marks. This sentence, in English, reads “What’s today’s date”

This is another important use of the word *qué*, the “what” in the sentence. This is an expression we learned on page 21 when learning months, days, and seasons.

Finally, we know this is a question so it needs the “¿” before the sentence and the “?” at the end.

¿Qué fecha es hoy?

In this question, you’re asked to rewrite the sentences with the correct accents and punctuation marks. This sentence, in English, reads “I’m fine thanks”

This is another slightly “trick” question, since all these words are written correctly, but the punctuation is the issue. Adding a comma after “I’m fine” makes more sense in both English and Spanish with the way we say the sentence.
Don’t forget the period at the end of the sentence either, as that is also important punctuation.

Estoy bien, gracias.
