You could try checking again number 2, 7, 8, 11, 13, 16, 18 (¿and?) and 20. Also remember that in Spanish when saying dates, we use cardinal numbers. In English we use ordinal numers, so check that aswell. A couple of clues so you can challenge yourself again grin

pasado mañana means the day after tomorrow

  • pasado is the participle of pasar and in English you could translate it as past however, think more of it as the conjugated participle form in English: passed

  • The translation of pasado mañana becomes the passed morning or the last morning passed, and I really don't think the term tomorrow comes into play as you are wanting it to.

  • Think of translating it this way: The day after tomorrow (using después)

  • Or this way: The morning following (using siguiente)

18.) What are three items you would need for a party? (balloons, decorations, music)

globos, decoraciones, música.

  • With objects, usually when you put them in a list or they are by themselves, it's best to use the definite article along with them, making sure the two agree in gender and in quantity (singular vs. plural)
  • the balloons, the decorations, the music

This is also a good habit to get into doing, so that down the road, you will remember better the gender of those objects cool smile

13.) Tell someone when Christmas Eve is.

Nochebuena es 24 de diciembre

When giving a date, the number (day) needs follow a definite article. Think of it this way = Cristmas Eve is the 24th of December

8.) ¿Qué es? —Es ello un computadora.

Es es un computadora.

This is the verb SER conjugated into thrid-person singular = ES

  • ES can be translated as = he is, she is, it is and in Spanish the subject pronoun is not always necessary (he, she, it) you can just use word ES alone
  • computadora is a feminine noun, you'll need to be sure the article agrees in gender
