In this exercise you are being asked to complete the given statements and then state whether the given statements are true or false. Your options to complete the sentences are **de, del, de la, de los, or de las**.

The example reads, “Rafael’s animals are bad. False. Rafael’s animals are good”.

The first sentence reads “the car ________ teacher is awesome”.
Since *profesora* is feminine, it would take *la* as its definite article. Since we want to complete the sentence with the English “of the”, we would say *de la* in Spanish.

Looking at the picture we can see that the teacher’s car is indeed awesome. Compared to the car in the fourth picture, at least! So we can say that this sentence is *cierto* (true).

El carro de la profesora es fenomenal. Cierto.

In this exercise you are being asked to complete the given statements and then state whether the given statements are true or false. Your options to complete the sentences are de, del, de la, de los, or de las.

The example reads, “Rafael’s animals are bad. False. Rafael’s animals are good”.

The second sentence reads “the pizza _____ Roberto is delicious”.
In all of these sentences we are using *de* to indicate a possessive relationship, as was discussed at the top of this page. Much like in the example, here we simply use *de* to indicate “the pizza OF Roberto”.

Since the person eating the pizza looks happy, we can deduce that the pizza is, in fact, delicious. You can say that this sentence is *cierto* (true).

La pizza de Roberto es deliciosa. Cierto.

In this exercise you are being asked to complete the given statements and then state whether the given statements are true or false. Your options to complete the sentences are **de, del, de la, de los,** or **de las.**

The example reads, “Rafael’s animals are bad. False. Rafael’s animals are good”.

The third sentence reads, “The party ______ friend of Ana is awful”. We want to complete the sentence so it reads “the party of the friend of Ana is awful”. Once again, this is an example of a place where we use *de* to indicate possession. Since we need to say “of the”, instead of just “of”, we will use the definite article *la* after *de* (since *amiga* is feminine).

You’ll notice in the picture that everyone is smiling, meaning the party is probably not awful. As per the example, we will say this statement is *falso* and then write a correct statement. There are many words that could be considered the opposite of “awful” – *fenomenal*, *bueno* or *formidable* are all acceptable. Since our object (*la fiesta de la amiga de Ana*) is feminine, singular, our correct adjective will also be in the feminine, singular form.

La fiesta de la amiga de Ana es pésima. Falso. La fiesta de la amiga de Ana es formidable.

In this exercise you are being asked to complete the given statements and then state whether the given statements are true or false. Your options to complete the sentences are **de, del, de la, de los,** or **de las.**

The example reads, “Rafael’s animals are bad. False. Rafael’s animals are good”.

The fourth sentence reads “the car _______ teacher is good”. We want to fill in blank with “of the” for the sentence to make grammatical sense. We know *de* means “of”, and the addition of the definite article before the subject will give us “the”. Since *profesor* is masculine, singular, we will use the article *el*. Note, from page 64, that *de* + *el* = *del*.

It appears from the picture that the teacher’s car is actually not in great condition, meaning that we can say that the given statement is *falso*. We have to then write a correct statement about the car using the opposite of *bueno*, which is *malo*.

El carro del profesor es bueno. Falso. El carro del profesor es malo.

In this exercise you are being asked to complete the given statements and then state whether the given statements are true or false. Your options to complete the sentences are **de, del, de la, de los, or de las**.

The example reads, “Rafael’s animals are bad. False. Rafael’s animals are good”.

The fifth sentence reads, “The video games __________ friends are fun”. You’ll note that “friends” is written as the feminine *amigas* here.
Since we’re using *de* to refer to possession here, we will also need the definite article *las* to precede *amigas*.

Since the people in the photo look like they’re enjoying the video games, we can say that they are, indeed, fun. This statement is *cierto* (true).

Los videojuegos de la amigas son divertidos. Cierto.

In this exercise you are being asked to complete the given statements and then state whether the given statements are true or false. Your options to complete the sentences are **de, del, de la, de los, or de las**.

The example reads, “Rafael’s animals are bad. False. Rafael’s animals are good”.

The sixth and final sentence reads, “the book ______ teacher is horrible”. In this instance, “teacher” is in its masculine form, *profesor*, which means its article is *el*. Recall that when *de* and *el* get together they result in *del*. In this sentence, *del* is how you will complete this sentence to say “the book of the teacher is horrible”.

Since the teacher in the picture looks like they may be asleep, we can say this sentence is *cierto*. The book clearly isn’t good enough to keep the reader from falling asleep.

El libro del profesor es horrible. Cierto.
