Review: Revise a Message for Meaning and Agreement
Revision checks more than fluent appearance. A corrected message should preserve its assigned speaker, referent and intended relationship while fixing a precise agreement, accent or register problem. Use only the fictional texts supplied here.

Use the skills in a new task
Create a four-part Spanish practice sheet from the following supplied situations. 1. Repair only the adjective in this flawed supplied group while retaining article and noun: “la casa pequeño”. Which candidate does that? Candidate answers: (A) el libro nuevo (B) la casa pequeña (C) la casa pequeño (D) la mesa pequeña. 2. The stated writer is yo; the action is present estudiar. Flawed draft: “yo estudias”. Preserve the writer and action. Which replacement verb repairs the draft? Candidate answers: (A) estudia (B) estudiamos (C) estudias (D) estudio. 3. The intended first expression must mean/function as possessive your, in a plural phrase. Which offered sentence preserves that specified role and its accent spelling? Candidate answers: (A) Tus mapas están aquí. (B) Tú mapas están aquí. (C) Tús mapas están aquí. (D) Él mapas están aquí. 4. The fictional message explicitly requests informal tú address to one person. The requested action is cocinar. Which complete offered question preserves both that convention and action? Candidate answers: (A) Puedes cocinar, por favor? (B) ¿Puede cocinar, por favor? (C) ¿Puedes cocinar, por favor? (D) ¿Puedes leer, 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. la casa pequeña. The original article/noun fixes the referent and its gender/number. Adjust the adjective to produce la casa pequeña. The unchanged phrase retains the error; an unrelated correctly formed group fails to preserve the supplied noun. 2. estudio. The named subject yo requires estudio from the supplied regular present pattern. Replace estudias with estudio; do not change the subject to justify the original error. The repaired statement preserves the requested speaker and action. 3. Tus mapas están aquí. The plural possessive tus follows the possessed maps and has no written accent. The competing forms either change that role or create an incorrect agreement/spelling. 4. ¿Puedes cocinar, por favor? The stated address convention is tú, which selects puedes. Keep the activity cocinar and both question marks: ¿Puedes cocinar, por favor? The alternative convention is not inherently rude/wrong, but it differs from this assigned message.
A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
