Princess_BG has the right answers, but JIC you want a more "clue me in to the answer"/"how does that work" approach:

1)¿Qué necesitas para la clase de inglés?

A: Necesito un papel, y el lapiz en clase de ingles

"Papel" is paper in the uncountable, and role in the countable, so you don't need the un. As for pencil, any pencil would do. You don't need to say "I need the pencil".

The Spanish 'y' does not take the Oxford comma, so you don't need that either.

Try to follow the question pattern when answering. It asks you "para la clase de inglés", not "en la clase de inglés".

Don't forget that accent on inglés!

2)¿Participas en la clase de matemáticas?

A: Si, me participo en la clase de matematicas

Participar does not use the reflexive/pronominal form when the meaning is "to participate" (in the pronominal form, it means "to notify" IIRC).

It isn't wrong to skip Maths sometimes. Just saying.

It would be better to use the accent mark on 'si' since 'si' means 'if' and 'sí' means 'yes'. No one would misunderstand you, of course, but correct spelling is appreciated everywhere.

3)¿Hablan tus compañeros en clase?

A: Si, me hablan me companeros en clase

Note how the question doesn't ask whether your classmates "me hablan" (i.e talk to you) but whether they "hablan" (simply talk).

The 'me' is incorrectly used. It is a personal pronoun, and you need a plural possessive pronoun.

It would be better to use the accent mark on 'si' since 'si' means 'if' and 'sí' means 'yes'. No one would misunderstand you, of course, but correct spelling is appreciated everywhere.

4)¿Qué deportes practicas?

A: Me pratico el baloncesto

Again, you don't use practicar in the pronominal form when the meaning is "practise/play". Protip: The question would say "¿Qué deportes te practicas?" if you were supposed to use the pronominal form. Since it simply says "¿Qué deportes practicas?", you don't need the pronoun 'me'.

You play basketball? Cool.

5)¿Con quién hablas en la clase de español?

A: Me hablo con senora jordanov en la clase de espanol

Again wrong use of pronominal form. The question would say "¿Con quién te hablas en clase de español?" if you were to use the pronominal form.

'Jordanov' should be captalized. Mind the tilde on 'señora' and 'español' too. 'ñ' indicates an entirely different pronunciation from 'n'.


¡Buena suerte!

Hello Kermit the frog,

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum smile

Thank you for making an effort to post answers to your questions/making an attempt to do your homework wink

You asked::

I'm taking Spanish Class(Online) and I need help, because I want to know if I answered these questions correctly. Thanks! Questions: 1)¿Qué necesitas para la clase de inglés? 2)¿Participas en la clase de matemáticas? 3)¿Hablan tus compañeros en clase? 4)¿Qué deportes practicas? 5)¿Con quién hablas en la clase de español? My Answers 1) Necesito un papel, y el lapiz en clase de ingles 2) Si, me participo en la clase de matematicas 3) Si, me hablan me companeros en clase 4) Me pratico el baloncesto 5) Me hablo con senora jordanov en la clase de espanol

Corrections: 1 Necesito papel y un lápiz. 2. Sí ( An accent is needed) participo en la clase de matemáticas / o ...en la clase..

You do not need to use the reflexive pronoun 'me' in your answer to Q 2,( or any other answers!) because the verb does not have reflexive endings! Please follow the pattern given to you in the questions and only use relexive verb endings in the answers if they also include them in the questions! wink eg ¿A qué hora te levantas? = Q What time do you get up in the morning? A. Me levanto a las 7 de la mañana.

3.Sí, mis compañeros hablan en clase.

4 Practico al baloncesto. (I think you would use al here not simply el)

5 Hablo con la señora Jordanov en la clase de español.

I hope these corrections help smile
