¡Hola! Thanks for joining us. This time, we are sharing a great PDF worksheet with two interesting exercises to help you practice the structure behind basic sentences in Spanish. We hope you get the best out of this material. Let’s start…
Directions:
Students could work by themselves or in pairs to solve the exercises on this worksheet. They can also solve it online on this page.
Both exercises in this material are about basic sentences in Spanish, that is, those that only have a subject and a predicate (verb + complement), just like these:
- “Yo me llamo Leo“. (My name is Leo – Here “yo” is the subject, and the rest is the predicate. There are no conjunctions like “y” or subordinate clauses)
- “Cerramos la puerta” (We closed the door – Here, the subject is not stated explicitly, but the verb “cerramos” tells us it is “nosotros”)
For the first exercise, students must look at a list of 12 sentences that are missing either a subject or part of the predicate, the verb form in most cases. The missing words have been added in the yellow boxes on the right, so you need to choose the ones that fit perfectly in each blank space so that all sentences make sense. To solve the second exercise, students must write basic sentences just like the ones in the first exercise or the sample sentence about “Ana” in this material. Keep in mind that basic sentences in Spanish are called “oraciones simples“ and they can be found in any tense in the language, so the answers for the second exercise may vary among the students.
