Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 3
This section asks you too use the noun and adjective provided to write a logical sentence based upon your personal opinion. Since these answers will be subjective, you will be provided with some tips to answer them for yourself. The first noun/adjective combo is “adventure movies/awesome”.
Step 2
2 of 3
You’ll notice that since “adventure movies” is referring to multiple things, it is written in the plural form (ending with an “s”). This means that the adjective must also be written in the plural form, since adjectives must always match nouns in number. It also means that you will be using *son* as the form of *ser*. Recall that if your noun ends in a consonant, you must add an “-es” at the end to make it plural.
Step 3
3 of 3
To make this noun/adjective combo a grammatically correct sentence, you can either add *son* between the noun and the adjective (which will be plural, as explained in the previous step), or *no son*, if you want to negate the sentence.
Exercise 2
Step 1
1 of 3
This section asks you too use the noun and adjective provided to write a logical sentence based upon your personal opinion. Since these answers will be subjective, you will be provided with some tips to answer them for yourself. The second noun/adjective combo is “mystery books/awful”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Since “mystery books” is a plural noun, we need to make sure our adjective is written in the plural form as well, since adjectives and nouns always match in number. Since our adjective in this case ends in a vowel, we simply need to add a “-s” to the end to make it plural. We also need to be sure we’re using the plural form of *ser*, which is *son*.
Step 3
3 of 3
To form a complete sentence with this noun/adjective combo, you can either add *son* between the two, or *no son* if you want to negate the phrase.
Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 3
This section asks you too use the noun and adjective provided to write a logical sentence based upon your personal opinion. Since these answers will be subjective, you will be provided with some tips to answer them for yourself. The third noun/adjective combo is “ice cream/horrible”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Here, our noun is a single thing (ice cream), so we don’t have to worry about writing the adjective in its plural form, we can keep it as it’s written. We will also use the singular form of *ser*, which is *es*, to connect the noun and adjective.
Step 3
3 of 3
Regardless of whether or not you negate this sentence or not, make sure the noun, the form of *ser*, and the adjective are all written in the singular form.
Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 3
This section asks you too use the noun and adjective provided to write a logical sentence based upon your personal opinion. Since these answers will be subjective, you will be provided with some tips to answer them for yourself. The fourth noun/adjective combo is “romance books/silly”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Here, our noun is written in the plural form (since we’re talking about romance books as a collection of multiple books) so we must make sure our adjective is also written in the plural form. Since our adjective ends in a vowel, all we need to do is add a “-s” to the end of the word. We’ll also use the plural form of *ser*, which is *son*.
Step 3
3 of 3
To write a complete sentence you will either insert *son* between the noun and adjective, or *no son* if you are choosing to negate the sentence. Either way, all the words must be in their plural forms to be grammatically correct.
Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 3
This section asks you too use the noun and adjective provided to write a logical sentence based upon your personal opinion. Since these answers will be subjective, you will be provided with some tips to answer them for yourself. The fifth noun/adjective combo is “horror movies/great”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Since our noun is plural (indicated by the “s” at the end of *pelĂ­culas*), our adjective also has to be written in the plural form. Since the adjective ends in a vowel we need to simply add an “s” to the end to make it plural. We also must ensure that we’re using *son* and not *es* between the noun and adjective.
Step 3
3 of 3
To write a grammatically correct sentence, you can either add *son* or *no son* between the noun and adjective, depending on whether or not you choose to negate the sentence.
Exercise 6
Step 1
1 of 3
This section asks you too use the noun and adjective provided to write a logical sentence based upon your personal opinion. Since these answers will be subjective, you will be provided with some tips to answer them for yourself. The sixth noun/adjective combo is “Chinese food/bad”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Our noun here is in the singular, so our adjective should also be in the singular. You will notice from when we learned *malo* that it also has a feminine form, which is *mala*. Since “Chinese food” is feminine, we need to make sure that we use the feminine form of the adjective. Remember, adjectives and nouns must match in gender and in number.
Step 3
3 of 3
To create a grammatically correct sentence, we need to make sure our subject and adjective are both singular and feminine, and our form of *ser* is *es*. You can choose whether or not to negate the sentence.
Exercise 7
Step 1
1 of 3
This section asks you too use the noun and adjective provided to write a logical sentence based upon your personal opinion. Since these answers will be subjective, you will be provided with some tips to answer them for yourself. The seventh noun/adjective combo is “vegetables/delicious”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Since “vegetables” is plural, we need to make sure our adjective is also in the plural form. Not only that but the word “delicious” has a feminine form, so it needs to be in its feminine AND plural form, which is *deliciosas*.
Step 3
3 of 3
To make this a grammatically correct sentence we need to follow our noun with *son*, and follow that with the feminine, plural form of “delicious”. Or, you can add “no” after the noun to negate the sentence.
Exercise 8
Step 1
1 of 3
This section asks you too use the noun and adjective provided to write a logical sentence based upon your personal opinion. Since these answers will be subjective, you will be provided with some tips to answer them for yourself. The final noun/adjective combo is “sports/fun”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Since our noun is in the plural form, our adjective has to match by being plural as well. Since our adjective ends in a vowel, we simply need to add an “s” at the end to make it plural. We also need to use the plural form of *ser*, which is *son*.
Step 3
3 of 3
To create a grammatically correct sentence, we use the noun we have been given, followed by *son* or *no son* depending on whether or not you wish to negate the sentence, and finally our adjective (in its plural form).
