1. Correct answer:
No, va a comprar esos pantalones
Demonstrative adjectives just as este, ese and aquel are used to demonstrate a quality about the noun they modify. The demonstrative adjective used in the question is ese that is used to indicate something nouns that are further from the speaker but they can be near the listener. Since we need to reply using the noun pantalones, then ese changes to esos to match the masculine plural form of this noun. Finally:
- ¿Va a comprar ese suéter Gloria?
- No, va a comprar esos pantalones
2. Correct answer:
No, llevé estos zapatos de tenis
The question is addressed to me, so I need to give a reply. So llevaste in the question comes from the verb llevar for the second person singular (tú) in the preterite tense. Since the reply is mine, we must use llevé that also comes from the verb llevar and matches the first person singular (yo). On the other hand, estas (used for feminine plural nouns) comes from este and is used to point out something near to the speaker in space or time. Since zapatos is a masculine plural noun, then estas changes to estos. Finally:
- ¿Llevaste estas sandalias?
- No, llevé estos zapatos de tenis
3. Correct answer:
No, quiero ver estas medias
From the question quieres is the conjugation of the verb querer that matches tú. From the reply, quiero also comes from querer but matches yo. The demonstrative adjective esta is used in the question because ropa is a feminine singular noun but in the reply we use a feminine plural noun, which is medias, hence esta must change to its feminine plural form, which is estas. Finally:
- ¿Quieres ver esta ropa interior?
- No, quiero ver estas medias
4. Correct answer:
No, usa aquella chaqueta negra
In this exercise, both the question and the answer stands for the third person singular, matching the subject pronoun él because David is a masculine noun. In this way, usa is the conjugation of the verb usar for the third person singular in the simple present. On the other hand, aquel is the demonstrative adjective used to indicate something that is far away from both the speaker and the listener and is used in the question because traje is a masculine singular noun and changes to the feminine singular form aquella in the reply because chaqueta also matches the feminine singular form. Therefore:
- ¿Usa aquel traje David?
- No, usa aquella chaqueta negra
5. Correct answer:
No, decidió comprar ese sombrero
In this exercise, both the question and the answer stands for the third person singular, matching the subject pronoun ella because Silvia is a feminine noun. In this way, decidió is the conjugation of the verb decidir for the third person singular in the preterite and comprar is an infinitive verb. On the other hand, the question uses esas because gafas is a feminine plural noun and since sombrero is a masculine singular noun, then we use ese that also matches this form. Finally:
- ¿Decidió Silvia comprar esas gafas de sol?
- No, decidió comprar ese sombrero
6. Correct answer:
No, me lo mostró aquel dependiente
Here mostró comes from the verb mostrar and matches the third person singular. On the other hand, vendedora is a feminine singular noun, so the question uses the feminine singular form of the demonstrative adjective aquel, which is aquella. Lastly, aquella changes to aquel because dependiente is a masculine singular noun. So:
- ¿Te mostró el vestido aquella vendedora?
- No, me lo mostró aquel dependiente
