Translated, this answer means, "If I were you, I would visit my aunt." Since this is a statement contrary to fact, the past subjunctive is needed. The correct past subjunctive in the 1st person singular of ser is "fuera." The correct tense in the next clause of the sentence is the conditional, which is "visitaría."

Montar is the verb used to get on, or ride, a horse or mule; thus the only valid option is caballo.

The question translates to "my mother cannot cook because __________ isn't working." The only logical answer is that el horno, the oven, isn't working.

"Conducir" means to drive a vehicle, so the only correct answer in formal Spanish from the list above is "coche," car. While "maquina" is sometimes used informally for vehicle, it is not formal Spanish. "Cerdo" means pig, and "casa" means house.

English translation: "I drove my car to my office yesterday."

"Foto" is a shortened form of the noun fotografía, which is feminine; therefore, "fotos" is a feminine plural noun and should take "las" as its article.

The blank requires the use of a direct object pronoun. The pronoun must agree in gender and number with the original direct object. In this sentence, “las fresas” is the direct object; therefore, the correct direct object pronoun is “las.”

This sentence simply expresses what will not happen in this year, so we use the future tense.

This example poses a question based on a hypothetical situation, so we use the conditional.

The verb buscar means “to look for;” therefore, there is no need to add in a Spanish equivalent for the word “for” in this sentence.

The preposition "por" is used improperly in this sentence. The preposition "para" should be used to express the concept "necessary for/in order to."

English translation: "You do not have enough money to buy that."

The correct gerund of "leer" is "leyendo." This is due to the double-object pronoun; the indirect "le"-to her and "lo"- it (the book) are next to each other, so the "le" must change to "se." Indirect objects always come before direct objects.

The direct object must agree with the noun that it replaces. "Libros" is masculine plural, and the correct direct object in the masculine plural form is "los."

The noun “día” is masculine and singular. Whenever the adjective “bueno” is directly in front of a masculine/singular noun, it is shortened to “buen.” Bien is an adverb.

The superlative version of the adjective "bueno;" "good" is "el mejor." "Mejor" goes before the noun.

The correct answer is "peor." "Peor" is the comparative version of the adjective "mal," so "más mal" and "más peor" cannot exist in Spanish. Likewise because of the context, "la peor;" "the worst" cannot be used in a comparison, only as a superlative. "Peor" is an adjective that does not change based on gender, so "peora" is also wrong.

Las ventanas means “windows” in English; therefore, abiertas (open), cerradas (closed), and rotas (broken) could all be used to describe windows. Graciosas (funny) is an adjective more commonly used to describe people.

The correct answer is "sucios" (dirty) because it agrees in number and gender with "los platos" and because it makes sense in context. The answer choice "rotos" (broken) wouldn't make sense because there's no reason to wash broken plates.

English translation: "The plates are dirty, so one must wash them."

Both "único" (only) and "segundo" (second) agree in number and gender with "hijo;" however, only "único" (only) fits in context, as it would not make sense for someone to say that they are an "hijo segundo" (second child) if that person is claiming not to have any siblings.

English translation: "I do not have siblings; I am an only child."

Based on context, only "roto," which means broken, would fit in this sentence. "Calificado" means qualified or proven, "maltratado" means mistreated or abused, and "involucrado" means involved (in something).

English translation: "The electronic device is not charging; it seems to me that it is broken."

Ordinal numbers in spanish always come before the noun. The noun "día," though it ends in an "a," is masculine. The correct answer is el cuarto día.
