Unit review questions
1. Original supplied sentence: “La caja está debajo de la mesa.” Caja=box; mesa=table. Which English relationship preserves the named phrase?
Need a hint?
  • Read the supplied sentence and isolate the entire relation phrase before translating.
  • A right/left relation can depend on a viewpoint in real scenes.
2. Fictional paper-plan instruction: “Espere aquí.” Which offered English instruction preserves its complete action and direction? Glosses: recto=straight; derecha=right; izquierda=left; plaza=plaza; sala=room; aquí=here; puerta=door; edificio=building.
Need a hint?
  • Match the exact written command with the supplied meaning guide.
  • Do not perform these directions in a real place.
3. On an original paper grid, start at (0,0) facing north. Read: “Siga recto 3 casillas. Gire a la izquierda. Camine 2 casillas.” Gloss: casilla=grid square; casillas=grid squares; siga recto=continue straight; gire=turn; camine=walk. North increases y; east increases x. Which endpoint follows the ordered instructions?
Need a hint?
  • Mark the supplied start and north arrow on paper.
  • These original grids supply their coordinate convention and all command glosses.
4. The supplied paper-route conversation needs to ask how many squares to move. Which offered clarification directly addresses that gap? Glosses: dirección=direction/instruction; cuántas=how many; hasta=up to; puerta=door; no entiendo=I do not understand.
Need a hint?
  • Read the exact gap named by the fictional scene.
  • A request for slower speech is useful only if speed is the named difficulty; it does not itself confirm a destination.

Use the skills in a new task

Create a four-part Spanish practice sheet from the following supplied situations. 1. Original supplied sentence: “La caja está lejos de la mesa.” Caja=box; mesa=table. Which English relationship preserves the named phrase? Candidate answers: (A) far from (B) in front of (C) to the left of (D) to the right of. 2. Fictional paper-plan instruction: “Salga del edificio.” Which offered English instruction preserves its complete action and direction? Glosses: recto=straight; derecha=right; izquierda=left; plaza=plaza; sala=room; aquí=here; puerta=door; edificio=building. Candidate answers: (A) Continue straight. (B) Leave the building. (C) Turn left. (D) Turn right. 3. On an original paper grid, start at (0,0) facing north. Read: “Siga recto 2 casillas. Gire a la izquierda. Camine 4 casillas.” Gloss: casilla=grid square; casillas=grid squares; siga recto=continue straight; gire=turn; camine=walk. North increases y; east increases x. Which endpoint follows the ordered instructions? Candidate answers: (A) (-4,2) (B) (0,6) (C) (2,-4) (D) (4,2). 4. The supplied paper-route conversation needs to confirm the door as the endpoint. Which offered clarification directly addresses that gap? Glosses: dirección=direction/instruction; cuántas=how many; hasta=up to; puerta=door; no entiendo=I do not understand. Candidate answers: (A) ¿A la derecha? (B) ¿A la izquierda? (C) ¿Hasta la puerta? (D) ¿Puede repetir la dirección, por favor?

Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.

  • Use the exact supplied situation and speaker rather than personal details.
  • Show the relevant word ending, evidence phrase, time cue or meaning distinction.
  • Write all four requested results with accents and punctuation.
  • Explain one rejected alternative and check that meaning remains faithful to the input.
Compare with a model response

1. far from. The written relation is lejos de, meaning far from. It relates the box to the table in that order. Preserve the distinction instead of substituting a different location word or reversing the two objects. 2. Leave the building. Salga del edificio. supplies both the action and any destination/direction. Its matching instruction is Leave the building. The competing commands change the action, the direction or the named place rather than preserve the whole written instruction. 3. (-4,2). First move north to (0,2). Turning izquierda changes the facing direction to west. Then moving 4 squares changes x by -4, giving endpoint (-4,2). The instruction order changes which coordinate receives the second move. 4. ¿Hasta la puerta? The missing detail is precisely to confirm the door as the endpoint. The phrase ¿Hasta la puerta? requests or confirms that detail. Another courteous phrase can serve a different purpose and therefore leave this specified gap unresolved.

A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
