How the test works

Below are 12 tasks: they cover every lesson of the module, and one goes back to module 7. 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:

  • me / te / nos with the verb → lesson 36;
  • siempre, a veces, casi nunca → lesson 37;
  • con / sin, conmigo → lesson 38;
  • salgo, pongo, oigo, venir / ir → lesson 39;
  • buen / bueno → lesson 34.

Me levanto a las siete y me ducho. — I get up at seven and take a shower.

¿Vienes conmigo? — Sí, voy contigo. — Are you coming with me? — Yes, I'll go with you.
