'Carol likes to wear pajamas. Her friend likes to wear nightgowns.' How would you say those two sentences if you were speaking Spanish?

Writing - Putting Two Sentences Together (2)

In this Spanish Medium Review quiz you will once again get the opportunity to put two sentences together. In fact, this quiz is the sister quiz to the Spanish Medium Review quiz titled Writing: Putting Two Sentences Together (1). In the first quiz you were shown sentences in English that had to then be translated into Spanish. Here you will be doing the reverse. In other words, you will be shown two sentences together in Spanish and you will need to find the proper English translation for the two sentences.

Again, as this is a WRITING quiz, you will be required to write down what you believe to be the proper English translation. Next - compare what you wrote with the given answers to see if your translation matches any one of them. How close did you come to one of the given answers? Remember as you to this, do not forget spelling, verb tenses and masculine and feminine words.

George and Mary came in May. She was the first to arrive!
George and Mary moved in May. She was a new wife!
George and Mary married in May. She was a beautiful bride!
George and Marry raced in May. She was the first to finish!
Each sentence has correctly translated Jorge y María as George and Mary. The verb in the first sentence is casaron which is a past tense verb. It means married. In the second sentence, una hermosa novia means a beautiful bride. Now you know that the third answer is the correct translation.

Each answer has correctly translated El profesor as The teacher, la lección as the lesson and Los estudiantes as The students. Now determine the pronoun that can replace the teacher. That would be he. The verb in the first sentence is lee. It is Spanish for he reads. The second answer is the only answer that shows he reads. The pronoun that can replace the students in the second sentence is they. The verb escuchan is Spanish for they listen meaning that the second answer is the correct translation.
