How to answer a certain question in Spanish

Question

I was just wondering how you would answer this question:

"Aprendiste algo nuevo en clase?"

For example, the question:

"Ayer, ¿viste un video en la clase de español?"

The answer would be (I think):

Sí, ayer vi un video en la clase de español.

I wasn't sure how to answer the question, and more specifically, I wasn't sure what form to put the verb, aprender, into. Would the conjugation be aprendi?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Answer 2

I agree with Felix that you would respond to.../or answer the question using the same tense as the questioner in most cases, although, to be honest I am not sure what would constitute an exception.

eg: Pregunta 1 : ''¿Aprendiste algo nuevo en clase de español, hoy?'' (preterito)

= ''Did you learn something new in class, today?''

Respuesta/Contesta: ''Sí, aprendí algo nuevo en clase, hoy.''

= ''Yes, I learnt something new in class, today.''

Pregunta 2: ''¿Has aprendido algo nuevo en clase de español, hoy?'' (Perfecto de indicativo)

Respuesta/Contesta: ''Sí, he aprendido algo nuevo en clase de español, hoy''

I hope this helps

Answer 3

Typically, you answer a question in the tense given (I say typically, because they're probably many exceptions).

Will you go there tomorrow? Yes, I will.

Have you seen this movie? Yes, I have.

Did you go jogging this morning? Yes, I did. (In this case, you could also say "Yes, I went jogging", but keep in mind, both forms are the same in Spanish, using the preterit)
