How the test works

Below are 12 tasks: they cover every lesson of the module, and one goes back to module 1. 10 correct answers on the first try means you’ve passed the module. If you make more mistakes, go back to the lessons where they happened:

  • somos / sois / son or usted eres → lesson 6;
  • an infinitive instead of a form (trabajar hoy) or the wrong -ar ending → lesson 7;
  • vivemos or the article with agua → lesson 8;
  • tengo, voy, hago and their other forms → lesson 9;
  • a job with ser → lesson 4.

Somos vecinos. ¿Sois de Madrid? — We're neighbors. Are you all from Madrid?

Estudio español y vivo en Madrid. — I study Spanish and live in Madrid.

Tengo una hermana. Voy a Valencia. — I have a sister. I'm going to Valencia.
