Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 3
In this question you’re asked to use the subject and adjective given to create a grammatically correct sentence. Remember, Roberto never says mean things so if the adjective isn’t a desirable quality, remember to add “no” before the conjugation of *ser*. The first question gives us “I/lazy”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Since “lazy” is generally not a good thing to be described as, we need to make sure that we add “no” before the *yo* form of *ser*. The *yo* form of *ser* is *soy*.
Result
3 of 3
No soy perezoso.
Exercise 2
Step 1
1 of 3
In this question you’re asked to use the subject and adjective given to create a grammatically correct sentence. Remember, Roberto never says mean things so if the adjective isn’t a desirable quality, remember to add “no” before the conjugation of *ser*. The second question gives us “you/beautiful”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Beautiful is definitely a good thing to be described as, so we don’t have to worry about adding “no” into this one. The subject that’s given to us is *tú*, and in the model was can see that the *tú* form of *ser* is *eres*.
Result
3 of 3
Eres bonita.
Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 3
In this question you’re asked to use the subject and adjective given to create a grammatically correct sentence. Remember, Roberto never says mean things so if the adjective isn’t a desirable quality, remember to add “no” before the conjugation of *ser*. The third question gives us “my friend Carlos/intelligent”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Here we won’t negate the verb, since intelligence is a good thing to be said as having. The subject is my friend Carlos (*él*),so we need the *él* conjugation of the verb *ser*, which is *es*.
Result
3 of 3
Mi amigo Carlos es inteligente.
Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 3
In this question you’re asked to use the subject and adjective given to create a grammatically correct sentence. Remember, Roberto never says mean things so if the adjective isn’t a desirable quality, remember to add “no” before the conjugation of *ser*. The fourth question gives us “Professor Garza/boring”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Especially as a teacher, being described as boring is not a good thing. For our answer, we’ll need to be sure to negate the sentence by adding “no” before the *usted* conjugation of *ser*, which is *es*.
Result
3 of 3
Profesor Garza no es aburrido.
Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 3
In this question you’re asked to use the subject and adjective given to create a grammatically correct sentence. Remember, Roberto never says mean things so if the adjective isn’t a desirable quality, remember to add “no” before the conjugation of *ser*. The fifth question gives us “we/friendly”.
Step 2
2 of 3
We won’t need to negate this verb since being described as friendly is a good thing. We will need the *nosotros* form of *ser* to complete this sentence. Look back at Chapter 1 if you need a refresher on the various conjugations of *ser*.
Result
3 of 3
Nosotros somos simpáticos.
Exercise 6
Step 1
1 of 4
In this question you’re asked to use the subject and adjective given to create a grammatically correct sentence. Remember, Roberto never says mean things so if the adjective isn’t a desirable quality, remember to add “no” before the conjugation of *ser*. The sixth question gives us “Mari and Gisela/witty”.
Step 2
2 of 4
The subject of the sentence is “Mari and Gisela”, which could also be replaced with the subject pronoun *ellas* (they). Since both Mari and Gisela are girls, we would use the feminine form *ellas* instead of the masculine or mixed-gender form *ellos*. The correct conjugation of *ser* in this case is *son*.
Step 3
3 of 4
Finally, since “witty” is generally not a negative quality, we will not worry about negating this sentence.
Result
4 of 4
Mari y Gisela son graciosas.
Exercise 7
Step 1
1 of 4
In this question you’re asked to use the subject and adjective given to create a grammatically correct sentence. Remember, Roberto never says mean things so if the adjective isn’t a desirable quality, remember to add “no” before the conjugation of *ser*. The seventh question gives us “my classmates/ unfriendly”.
Step 2
2 of 4
Since “they” would be another way of saying “my classmates”, the correct conjugation of *ser* would be *son*, as this is the “they” form of the verb.
Step 3
3 of 4
Finally, since “unfriendly” is not a good thing to be described as, we’re going to make sure that Roberto adds a “no” before *son*.
Result
4 of 4
Mis compañeras de clase no son antipáticas.
Exercise 8
Step 1
1 of 4
In this question you’re asked to use the subject and adjective given to create a grammatically correct sentence. Remember, Roberto never says mean things so if the adjective isn’t a desirable quality, remember to add “no” before the conjugation of *ser*. This final question gives us “you (formal, plural)/ active”.
Step 2
2 of 4
Since the subject is *ustedes*, the correct conjugation of *ser* will be *son*.
Step 3
3 of 4
Finally, since being described as active is generally a good thing, you do not have to worry about negating this sentence with *no*.
Result
4 of 4
Ustedes son activos.
