    IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS DURING THE EXAMS, ASK ME IN THE ZOOM CHAT. THANK YOU.

    This quiz starts at 12.00 at finishes at 12.18. After the exam, we will have a 12 minute break and we will start the grammar exam at 12.30.

    Enter the zoom meeting at 11:50 to make sure we don't have problems with Internet conections, webcams, microphones, etc.

    You have only one attempt and sequential navigation, so you won't be able to go back to a question. The test will be sent automatically after the first attempt. You will see five words per page.

    Please, before a Spanish noun write down the corresponding definite article (el, los or lal, las). Ex.: the answer for airport would be el aeropuerto. If you don't  write the definite article but the noun is right, you will get 80%. If the definite article is not right, you will get 0%, since some words change meaning if they are masculine or feminine. Ex.: el papa (the Pope), la papa (the potato).

    If an English word corresponds to more than one Spanish word, just write down one. Ex.: The answer for bus station would be la terminal de autobuses or any of the other word that you have in your book, but just choose one.

    When you are asked about a Spanish adjective, write down the masculine and feminine forms with full text separated with / without space. Ex.: the answer for famous would be famoso/famosa. 

    If the adjective is the same for the masculine and feminine form in Spanish, just write down the adjective once. Ex.: The answer for big would be grande.

    Use accent marks when it is necessary.

    If you miss an accent mark, you will get 90% of the grade for that question instead of 100%.
