I got all of them right except for the last one. I thought it would be "está" because a situation keeps changing. But I think the reason it should be "es" is because a situation gets replaced by another situation, with the first situation no longer existing and the current situation has a different characteristic which is of its own. Hence, "es". Also, es is more likely to be used with objects, places and situations, which I've noticed.
Ok, I got them all right, except #13. But that was because I reasoned the sentence would be "when we got there, they had already eaten", so I picked habían. So at least I knew what the words meant :-). My reasoning for #15 was that "complicated" was the nature of the situation. That's just what kind of situation it was. Otherwise it would have been a different situation. But I had my doubts because those test questions tend to be trick questions for a reason! That was fun!
Number 15 i just learned that to speak way and that is the only way that sounds correct, i couldn.t explain the reason why. Perhaps i learned a sentence such as "el problema es muy complicado" or something early on, i'm not exactly sure........... April 2025 is gonna be 2 years for me and I've pretty much got it all down, i just don't get every word when watching videos of Mexicans making videos for other Spanish speaking natives. A couple of your sentences i had to actually think of what is the correct answer, but if i am speaking i already know what i want to say and the right word just comes out. The real measure of your level is can you have conversations with real natives and can you watch videos made by and for other natives, because then they are not slowing down or dumbing down their speech, but you really need to start slower and work up to that. My first year i spent several hours a day trying to learn and one of the best things ever for comprehension was the free FSI government spanish courses. Headstart course was too easy but the free FSI Basic course of four 700 page manuals and 70 hours of audio worked wonders. Military expects you to be totally fluent in 7 months, but i wasn't able to achieve that, i'm still only 75-80 percent totally fluent i think.
As a native Spanish speaker, I'm unsure why the algorithm brought me here. But now that I've watched the video I want to point out four things. I apologize in advance!!! Please keep posting videos and take this as constructive feedback 🙏 #5: It's wrong. The correct answer should be "al" (a+el). #11 / #12 (in the question section is #11 but in the answer sheet is marked as #12). But the thing is that there are 2 correct answers: - Abran la puerta, por favor. Here, you are asking it to a group of people. - Abre la puerta, por favor. Here, you are asking it to one person. #14: there are 2 correct answers: - La novela FUE escrita por Gabriel. (The novel was/has been written by...) - La novela SERÁ escrita por Gabriel. (The novel will/going to be written by...) As Gabriel Garcia Marquez is dead, an educated guess would be that the correct answer is FUE (was/has been). However, if you are watching a documentary about Gabriel Garcia Marquez or if you are in a history class and they are talking... I don't know... talking about him getting inspiration from somewhere and that it's what will lead him to write the novel in his future adult life or whatever, you could absolutely use a future sentence. The thing is that grammatically speaking, both options are ok. #15: this one is EXTREMELY tricky because there are 2 correct options: - la situación ES dificil. - la situación ESTÁ dificil. However, if you are a new Spanish learner, you should focus on that "es" is the correct answer because I understand that makes more sense. However, there's a special exception while speaking informally about something difficult that you have personally experienced or are experiencing, you could say "está". But I would leave this to advanced students because in this sentence, "es" works every time while "está" works only if you are personally suffering from it being difficult.
#15 that’s exactly why she said there could be 2 answers and that she wanted to hear your reasoning. #14…. That’s a little nit picky don’t you think? We aren’t talking about the movie! lol #5… sometimes editors just write it incorrectly on the screen…
@@user-wo6nc8mu3j I described a documentary as an example but it could be used in a lot of ways. My history high school teacher used to talk in a future sentence while trying to make things sound interesting for the class. It could be taken as a storytelling technique. But as a matter of fact, it's grammatically correct in both forms :) Again, I didn't try to ruin the video with an ugly comment! It's just constructive feedback and for people taking this as a quick test.
@@FlorenciaFavaJacobs I am more advanced than most of those who would be taking this quiz so I see all your reasoning and I understand constructive criticism. I saw all that you saw, but not being a native speaker I am a bit hesitant to comment since some people are really sensitive 😮. ❤
Oh noooooo I was hoping you would have a scale like if you got between __-__ right then you are likely A1, between __-__ A2, etc. Of course I'm sure they would have to be approximate. But i took the whole quiz (got 11 right) going to get a gauge on where that might put me, and got nuthin' 😭 haha. It's fine, but, yeah, darn it
A is just the preposition (to, of, towards, from...) You still need the article to make a real sentence. It's el supermercado, a + el = al. So it's: voy al supermercado
10/15 respuestas correctas pienso que yo soy el nivel B1 😅
Me gustaría que crearas una prueba de sustantivos. 😊
Me encanta tu canel. Qué voz tan increíble! ❤

For me the two sounds the same but you right, 😂im a native
i enjoyed this. couldnt #8 also be vamos en vez de iremos??
This format worked for me. I sometimes zone out too easily, this just caught my attention especially with the mix of levels. Nice work.
Great to hear!
10 out of 15 right 15 es porque es permanente
That's great!
one more thing. before i start watching more of your videos are you more of a spain spanish or spanish spoken in mexico?
It would have been nice if you had reviewed the answers

Scale is a good time. I will do that next time! 11 is not bad at all
@@Everyday_Espanol thanks! 😊
One wrong no. 7. The last one is es, as the situation itself hasnt changed. Its permanent.
For #5 is it correct to speak in this form?
Voy 'a' supermercado...
A is just the preposition (to, of, towards, from...) You still need the article to make a real sentence. It's el supermercado, a + el = al. So it's: voy al supermercado
@@nickollo2116 i was gonna say the same thing, it's voy al supermercado.
