Step 2
2 of 3
The top of this page has this vocabulary laid out for you. Remember that the Spanish question would translate literally to “How many years do you have?” Don’t let that confuse you, and commit this phrase to memory as this is another important phrase is conversational Spanish. E. and F. are the two responses that may catch your eye as being correct, but remember that the verb *tener* needs to be conjugated correctly for the responder to say “I have ______ years”. This conjugation would be *tengo*.

Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 3
In this question you’re asked to match the question from the left column with the appropriate and logical response from the right column. This question reads “What’s he like?”
Step 2
2 of 3
Initially we may not know that “he” is the subject, but since *bajo* and *perezoso* are both in their masculine forms (ending in -o), we know that subject is male. Both answers A. and C. begin with *Es*, but one is answering the question “WHO is your best friend?” and one is answering “WHAT is he like?”. One is asking for a noun, and one is asking for adjectives to describe the subject.
Result
3 of 3
c. Es bajo y un poco perezoso.
Exercise 6
Step 1
1 of 3
In this question you’re asked to match the question from the left column with the appropriate and logical response from the right column. This question reads “How old is he/she?”
Step 2
2 of 3
Don’t be confused, as this question is VERY similar to question one. You have to be careful about conjugations, since question one is asking how old YOU are, and question 6 is asking how old someone else is. Therefore, they will have different conjugations of *tener* (“to have”).

f. Tiene quince años.
