Writing: English to Spanish (2)

In this Spanish Difficult Review quiz you will once again get the opportunity to write sentences going from English to Spanish. As you can see, this quiz is a continuation of Writing: English to Spanish (1). As was mentioned in the introduction of that previous quiz, as well as the same series of writing quizzes you took in the Spanish Medium Review quiz series, you are now being challenged to be able to use any of your Spanish vocabulary words and verbs in sentences. By writing down the sentences, it will re-enforce your ability to remember not only the words, but sentence structure.

As was the case in the first Writing: English to Spanish (1) quiz, here you will be given ten sentences in English. Write down the English sentence on a piece of paper and then see if you can write out the Spanish translation of that sentence.

Once you have completed your translation, see if it matches up to one of the given answers here. When you complete one sentence – move on to the next sentence until you have completed all ten sentences. Do not rush. Think about the words, the verb tenses and the sentence structures. If you are up to the challenge – then begin the quiz now.
