Matching Answers with Explanations

  1. ¿Por qué van al cine? - e. Vamos al cine.

    • Explanation: The response "Vamos al cine" (We are going to the cinema) is grammatically correct on its own; "Vamos" is the first-person plural form of the verb "ir" (to go). However, it answers "Where are you/they going?" rather than "Why?" ("
      porque"). The formality is neutral as it refers to "we."

  2. ¿Cómo estás? - f. Bien, gracias.

    • Explanation: This is a grammatically correct and common informal response to "How are you?". "Estás" is the informal second-person singular (tú) form of "estar". "Bien" means "well/good," and "gracias" means "thanks."

  3. ¿Dónde estás? - g. Estoy en el restaurante.

    • Explanation: This is a grammatically correct informal response to "Where are you?". "Estoy" is the first-person singular (yo) form of "estar" (to be, for location). "En el restaurante" (in the restaurant) correctly indicates a location. "Estás" is the informal second-person singular (tú) form.

  4. ¿Adónde vas? - b. Voy a una fiesta.

    • Explanation: This is a grammatically correct informal response to "Where are you going?". "Voy" is the first-person singular (yo) form of "ir" (to go). "A una fiesta" (to a party) correctly indicates the destination. "Vas" is the informal second-person singular (tú) form.

  5. ¿Adónde va Julia? - j. Va al gimnasio.

    • Explanation: This is a grammatically correct response stating where Julia is going. "Va" is the third-person singular (ella/él/usted) form of "ir". "Al gimnasio" (to the gym) correctly indicates the destination. The formality is neutral as it refers to a third person, Julia.

  6. ¿Quién va a la biblioteca? - h. María Elena.

    • Explanation: This is a grammatically correct and direct answer to a "Who…?" question, simply stating the name of the person. The formality is neutral.

  7. ¿Por qué vas a la farmacia? - a. Porque estoy enferma.

    • Explanation: This is a grammatically correct informal response to "Why are you going to the pharmacy?". "Porque" (because) correctly introduces the reason. "Estoy enferma" (I am sick) uses the first-person singular "estoy" and the adjective "enferma" agrees with a feminine speaker. "Vas" is the informal second-person singular (tú) form.

  8. ¿Por qué estás ansioso? - c. Porque voy a un examen.

    • Explanation: This is a grammatically correct informal response to "Why are you anxious?". "Porque" introduces the reason. "Voy a un examen" (I am going to an exam) explains the cause of anxiety, using the first-person singular "voy". "Estás" is the informal second-person singular (tú) form.

  9. ¿Adónde van? - i. Porque estamos aburridos.

    • Explanation: The response "Porque estamos aburridos" (Because we are bored) is grammatically correct on its own; "Porque" introduces a reason, and "estamos" is the first-person plural form of "estar". However, it answers "Why are you/they doing something?" rather than "Where are you/they going?" ("
      Adónde"). The formality is neutral as it refers to "we."

  10. ¿Dónde están? - d. Estamos en el gimnasio.

    • Explanation: This is a grammatically correct response to "Where are you/they?". "Estamos" is the first-person plural (nosotros) form of "estar" (to be, for location). "En el gimnasio" (in the gym) correctly indicates the location. "Están" is the third-person plural (ellos/ellas) or formal second-person plural (ustedes) form.
