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. Buenas tardes. The scene labels its period directly: 16:30, afternoon. Buenas tardes is the matching time greeting. Hasta mañana means see you tomorrow and is a farewell, not the requested greeting. 2. Me llamo Eva. The reply comes from Eva, so the first-person phrase is Me llamo. Add the supplied name: Me llamo Eva. Se llama describes another person, te llamas addresses you, and soy de gives an origin. 3. Soy de Caracas. De dónde eres asks origin, so select Soy de Caracas. Estoy en Toledo answers current location. The other alternatives answer a name-like statement or clock time instead of the supplied origin. 4. ¿Puede ayudarme, por favor? The stated aim is to ask for help respectfully. ¿Puede ayudarme, por favor? directly performs that function. The rejected phrases may be polite but serve another purpose, so their politeness alone does not make them answer this scene.

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