Lesson 50. Module 10 review and test
review: estoy + gerund, acabo de, lo / la, le / les
What module 10 covered
| Lesson | Topic | Key points |
|---|---|---|
| 46 | Right now | estoy comiendo, está viendo; sigue lloviendo |
| 47 | Just, again | acabo de llegar, vuelvo a llamar, empiezo a trabajar, dejo de fumar |
| 48 | It, them | lo / la / los / las: Sí, lo tengo. No las encuentro. |
| 49 | To whom | me, te, le, nos, os, les; Le doy las llaves a Lucía; doy |
Lo and le are easy to mix up: lo / la is “him, her, it” (what?), le is “to him, to her” (to whom?).
How the test works
Below are 12 tasks: they cover every lesson of the module, and one goes back to module 9. 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:
- estoy + gerund, sigue → lesson 46;
- acabo de, vuelvo a → lesson 47;
- lo / la / los / las → lesson 48;
- le / les, doy → lesson 49;
- hace frío → lesson 44.
Estoy buscando mis gafas. — I'm looking for my glasses.
