Step-by-step explanation:
In this exercise, we will be practising and acquiring words in order to get our Spanish level better. This kind of tasks are thought to help Spanish students improving their vocabulary inventory, so we need to:
- Understand the context of the sentence: this implies to know the meaning of each word and to understand what the complete enounce is saying
- Understand the meaning of the options and be able to identify its differences.
- Search on dictionaries, guides or the web ALL the words and structures unknown.
Here there is some extra advice you can follow in order to improve your competence in the Spanish language:
- READ READ READ! It will help you to acquire more vocabulary and to understand more easily the new language.
- DON´T BE AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKES: Always remember that you are in a learning process and it is normal to make mistakes. Go ahead!
- ASK FOR HELP IF NECESSARY: Remember that you have teachers, classmates, websites and other places where you could ask for help
- BUY A DICTIONARY! Nowadays is pretty common to search on the web all we want, but you also could buy a physical dictionary to consult every time you need it.
In our specific exercise we have to CONJUGATE VERBS in order to fill the blanks and complete the sentences; remember that the conjugation of verbs, besides being gramatically correct, always has to make sense with the contextual meaning of the entire discourse; here the speaker is talking about an experience related to a Guatemalan restaurant.
Please focus your attention on how each verb is conjugated; you will identify them because they´re marked within the text with CAPITAL and bold letters.
