Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 4
In this section you are asked to provide the questions that make the most sense given Andrés’ answers. The example reads:
“_________?”
“I like to read magazines.”
“What do you like to do?”

The first answer is, “I am from Chile”.

Step 2
2 of 4
Andres’ answer clues us in that the question is asking where he is from. Since his response is using *soy*, the *yo* form of *ser*, that tells us the question will be asked using *eres*, the *tú* form of *ser*.
Step 3
3 of 4
Think back to learning question words and basic questions in the first two chapters. The word *dónde* means “where” (and, like all question words, contains an accent!). To form the question “where are you from?”, you need to add *de* before *dónde*. The literal translation in English is “from where are you?”.

Step 1

In this section you are asked to provide the questions that make the most sense given Andrés’ answers. The example reads:

Step 2
2 of 4
Andres stating his age tells us that the question is most likely “how old are you?”. Since he is responding with “I”, the question must be asked using “you”.
Step 3
3 of 4
You should remember this question and answer from page 47, where you learned birthday vocabulary and grammar. You will use the question word *cuántos* (“how many”). Since *tengo* is used in the answer, *tienes* will be used in the question.
