SPAN 1 Study Guide Exam 2 (Chapter 2 and chapter 3)
LISTENING COMPREHENSION (5 pts)
There will be five comprehension questions in English related to the story. You will listen to a
short paragraph about someone’s facts and daily activities.
Example: You hear:
A María le gustan las hamburguesas. Normalmente, ella almuerza con
Myrta y Susana. …
1. What does María like?
A. Greens
B. Dairy
C. Fruits
D. Meat
2. …
3. …
4. …
5. …
GRAMMAR (20 pts)
A. Friends (Adjectives)
(3 pts)
Paso 1 (2 pts)
Myrta and María are very good friends. Match the descriptions with a similar adjective in form
and meaning.
A. independiente
B. independientes
C. simpática
D. simpático
E. simpáticos
F. simpáticas
G. …
H. …
I. …
J. …
6. María es agradable. Ella es
C
.
7. …
Paso 2 (1 pt)
(0.5 pt per word: 0.25 pts meaning, 0.25 pts form)
What about you? Use two adjectives to describe yourself. Do NOT use any of the adjectives
from
Paso 1
:
simpático/a
and
independiente
.
8.
Yo soy
introvertida
y
amigable
.
The verb
SER
and ADJECTIVES
The verb
SER
is used with adjectives to describe what a person, a place, or a thing is like. Therefore
the adjective used to describe whatever must agree in gender and number with its subject.
Ella es simpátic
a
vs. Él es simpátic
o.
Note:
María tiene el pel
o
rubi
o
vs.
María es rubi
a
.
María tiene el pel
o
rubi
o
>
In this sentence I wrote
rubi
o
-even though
María
is a girl- since the
adjective “rubio” must agree with the noun it describes. Therefore,
María tiene el pel
o
rubi
o
(María has
blond hair)
.
However, if you want to describe
María
-using the verb
ser
- the adjective
rubio
needs to
agree with its subject:
María es rubi
a
(María is blond).
B. An exam (
Ser
and
estar
with adjectives)
(3 pts)
Paso 1 (2 pts)
Myrta and María are talking about their math exam. Choose the correct form of
ser
or
estar
to

D. Likes and dislikes (
Gustar
verb) (2 pts)
Paso 1 (1 pt)
Myrta and María are talking about what they like. Choose the correct form of
gustar
to indicate
how they feel about the following.
A. gusta
B. gustan
15. A mí me
A
bailar.
Paso 2 (1 pt)
What about your best friend? Complete the sentence to indicate what he/she likes as stated
below. Be sure to use the correct form of
gustar
.
16. A mi amigo/a
le gusta el chocolate
.
Verb
GUSTAR
- To like or to be pleased
Let’s see the following examples:
Me gust
a
el pescado
Me gust
an
las papas fritas
Me gusta el pescado
: “I like fish,” or literally “fish is pleasing to me.”
Me gustan las papas fritas
: “I like
fries,” or “the fries are pleasing to me.” Notice that
the verb
gustar
has changed
between the two
sentences, reflecting the fact that what I like in the first sentence is singular (
el pescado
) and what I like
in the second sentence is plural (
las papas fritas
). Therefore, we use the singular
gusta
if the thing we
like is
singular
, or if what we like is a
verb
(an action), maybe to watch a movie or to play sports. We
use
gustan
, the plural form, if the thing we like is
plural
.
Sometimes, some sentences can be
ambiguous
such as in "
Le gusta el pescado
" which could be
understood as:
He likes fish, She likes fish
or
You (formal) like fish
. In order to explain or avoid this
ambiguity, we will use
A
expressions
.

+ infinitive” to indicate what they are going to do.

(0.5 pts meaning, 0.5 pts form)
What about you and your friends? Complete the following sentence using “
ir + a
+ infinitive
” to
indicate what you are going to do this weekend and the
location
where you are going to
perform that activity
.
Do NOT use any verbs from
Paso 1
:
escuchar
or
preparar
. Make sure to
conjugate the verb according to the subject (persons) given. Do NOT change it.
18.
Mis amigos y yo
vamos a cenar pollo con patatas en mi apartamento
.
Structure
ir
+ a + infinitivo
As you know this expression is used to express future using the present tense of
ir
. You always have to
follow the same rule.
Ir
verb (conjugated)
+
a
+
infinitivo
: (Nosotros)
vamos
a
comer

(We

You cannot change the rule. So, the

be conjugated.
