Answer 1

thank you quentin
i already did my excersise and got almost max.points,only one stupid mistake

Answer 2

Yes, I think you were overthinking the assignment. I t seems to be no more than an exercise showing you how to make a positive statement and then how to make that statement negative: she is... and then she is not..... The use of colors was only an aid to help you differentiate the positive and negative statements.

Answer 3

thank you a lot Criss
can get back to my work now

Answer 4

Seems that your assignment is just to practice using colors (adjectives) to describe the different items (not this chair, but that one; the blue one, not the red one), so the sentences you have here look great.

Answer 5

so like i understand,the meaning of this exercise wasen´t to put all the words into "ón" form because when sillón can be a bigger silla then the mesón ain´t bigger mesa,its a totally different thing.
and i can say my sentence like this...

la mujer está en la cama azul.ella no está en la cama roja.
el hombre está en la caja negra.él no está en la caja marrón.

Answer 6

how can i say then the same thing with la mesa,la caja,la cama
am i suppose to say that like this?

la mujer está en la cama azul.ella no está en la cama roja.
el hombre está en la caja negra.él no está en la caja marrón.

Answer 7

Yes, but often the word simply changes meaning:

mesa -mesón

caja - cajón

puerta - portón

Hi, discovered the "double click" function yet? Just click on the word you are looking for and it will lead you directly to the dictionary and the different "discussions" with the word involved.

Answer 8

sillón es un sofá'

Answer 9

The suffix "-on" can be added to nouns to make them "bigger." "Silla" is a chair; "sillón" is a larger chair (an armchair, etc.)

Is that all you were asking? I don't understand what you said about "mesa." What are the instructions for your assignment?

Criss.

Answer 10

Un sllón es un asiento más grande y confortable que una silla.
Un sillón café es un sillón del color del café.
Si embargo, mesón no es una mesa grande sino un tipo de establecimiento público típico español, actualmente en desuso.
