Spanish Medium Review Quiz - Writing - Swapping Words (Questions)

In this Spanish Medium Review you quiz will get the chance to work with using your words by swapping them. Between the Spanish Easy Review quiz series and the Spanish Medium Review quiz series you have amassed quite an impressive list of Spanish vocabulary words. In fact, that list is well into the thousands so you, even if you ended your Spanish lessons with Spanish Medium Review, you would be in very good shape to be able to communicate in that language – at least in the present tense and in the past tense. Knowing you have a good bank of words, this quiz has been designed to see how well you can draw upon those words.

There are no new vocabulary words to learn here. That’s a relief? Still, you will need vocabulary. Has anyone ever asked you to spell a word for them and once you started you stopped and said, hold on a minute, and then you had to write the word down to remember how it was spelled?

If that has ever happened to you, you'll be pleased to hear that there is a reason for it. The brain needs to see the word. Therefore, to help your brain with this quiz, get a piece of paper and an pen or pencil and write down the words in English and then in Spanish. This will teach and train your brain to remember how to spell the words. And… this is a writing quiz so that does mean you need to WRITE.

Okay, this quiz contains ten sentences with one word that is shown in all capitalized letters. Looking at the four answers provided, find which Spanish word can be used to swap out the capitalized word and still have the sentence be a proper sentence. By swapping you are not looking for the Spanish word that matches the capitalized word but, rather, the Spanish word that can replace the capitalized word and have the sentence still make sense. For example, if the sentence was, Her shoes are red, and your four answers were casa, blusa, gato and azul, the only word that can be swapped for red is azul which means blue. So put your thinking caps on, have pen or pencil in hand, and begin the quiz!
