To get this one correct you must pay attention to the order of the words. Note that in Spanish possession is not shown with an apostrophe. Therefore, the third answer can be eliminated as the improper form. To show that the brother is Charles’ brother, in Spanish it would be shown as 'the brother of Charles', i.e., el hermano de Carlos. The last answer is the only answer to show this correctly and it is the only correct order of all of the words.

This one is a little tricky because each answer has correctly translated 'Karen won a ticket'. However, you need to also pay attention to the punctuation marks. The given sentence shows an exclamation point (!). Therefore, it must be in the answer and in Spanish it must come before and after the sentence. Only the second answer shows the correct usage of the punctuation mark.
|
Each answer has correctly translated 'my uncle' and 'a cellphone'. The verb is gave which is the past tense form of the verb. The third and last answers show the present tense form of the verb so they can be eliminated. In Spanish when something is given to a person, it is stated in Spanish as 'to me he gave'. This means that 'me' comes before the verb. The first answer shows it after the verb. The second answer shows the correct word order and proper full translation.
