Question

Could you help me understand this by elaborating a little on what it is that you should do here. Thanks!

A. Conteste la pregunta en una oración completa usando la pista.

MODELO:

Q: ¿Cuánto es el pasaje de primera clase? (Quince mil pesetas) A: El pasaje de primera clase es quince mil pesetas.

1. ¿A qué hora sale el tren? (a la medianoche)

2. ¿Qué tipo de pasaje quiere? (de ida y vuelta)

3. ¿De qué andén sale el tren? (número seis)

4. ¿Qué hago con el baúl? (llevarlo al maletero) (use a command)

5. ¿Qué nos desea el agente? (un buen viaje)

Answer 1

In this, you use the given examples in the parentheses to answer the questions.

Using the example: Q: ¿Cuánto es el pasaje de primera clase? (Quince mil pesetas) A: El pasaje de primera clase es quince mil pesetas.

You want to answer the question by rephrasing the question. What you should do is FLIP the question to make an answer.

FIRST: state the subject. The subject is "El paseje de primera clase."

SECOND: state the verb. The verb is "es."

THIRD: state the answer. The answer is "quince mil pesetas."

All together, the answer is: El paseje de primera clase es quince mil pesetas.

Use this same formula for all of your answers.

Answer 2

Although I won't do your homework, I'll tell you what it wants you to do. It basically gives you a question, tells you how to answer it, and it just wants you to form a sentence.

For instance, the first question translates as "When does the train leave?" ("At what time does the train leave?"). It wants you to say the train leaves at midnight, or a la medianoche. So, for the answer, you would say El tren sale a la medianoche, or Sale a la medianoche. Since the subject has already been mentioned, you don't need to restate it. Good luck! If you need a word looked up this site has a dictionary.

Thank you! That's all I was asking. :) - May9, Jan 11, 2010
