How the test works
Below are 12 tasks: they cover every lesson of the module, and one goes back to module 2. 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:
- an adjective with the wrong gender or number → lesson 11;
- somos en casa or the wrong form of estar → lesson 12;
- soy listo instead of estoy listo → lesson 13;
- ¿Está un parque cerca? or hay el… → lesson 14;
- tengo / tienes / tiene → lesson 9.
Es una casa pequeña y bonita. — It's a small, pretty house.
Estoy en casa y estoy cansado. — I'm at home and I'm tired.
Hay un parque cerca. Está allí. — There's a park nearby. It's over there.
