cinco euros

“a euro” = un euro

“a dollar” = un dólar

Question 16

Translate to Spanish:

I have two cats.

Answer 16

Tengo dos gatas.

“I have” = tengo

You could have also said Yo tengo, but remember the pronoun is optional and typically omitted (especially for yo and tú).

Question 17

Translate to Spanish:

¿Do you have kids?

(tú)

Answer 17

¿Tienes hijos?

“you have” = tienes

You could have also said Tú tienes, but remember the pronoun is optional and typically omitted (especially for yo and tú).

Question 18

[What is being said in the audio recording?]

Answer 18

Hombre: ¿Tienes hermanos?

Mujer: Sí, tengo tres hermanas y cuatro hermanos.

Translation:
Man: “Do you have any siblings?”
Woman: “Yes, I have three sisters and four brothers.”

Question 19

Translate to Spanish:

There’s nothing here.

Answer 19

No hay nada aquí.

“nothing” = nada

Note that in Spanish, we use a double negative: no + nada in the same sentence, for agreement.

This is the opposite of how we’d do it in English, where double negatives are frowned upon. e.g. We wouldn’t say “I don’t have nothing”, but in Spanish that’s exactly how you’d say it. (No tengo nada.)

Question 20

[What is being said in the audio recording?]

Answer 20

Mujer: ¿Tienes dinero?

Hombre: No, no tengo nada.

Translation:
Woman: “Do you have [any] money?”
Man: “No, I don’t have anything.”

Note how this use of no –> nada technically translates to “no –> anything” in English, since English does not permit double negatives.

The word nada still means “nothing”; it’s just that it sometimes translates weirdly to English.

Question 21

Translate to Spanish:

I have only six friends.

Answer 21

Tengo sólo seis amigos.

“only” = sólo

This word is actually short for its full adverb, solamente (e.g. solamente seis amigos).

Question 22

Translate to Spanish:

Luisa has a bunch of siblings.

Answer 22

Luisa tiene un montón de hermanos.

“a bunch of” = un montón de

Question 23

Translate to Spanish:

How much money do you have?

Answer 23

¿Cuánto dinero tienes?

“how much” = cuánto

Note that you could have also asked ¿Cuánta plata tienes?, as plata is the more colloquial way to say “money” in many countries.

Question 24

Translate to Spanish:

How much does it cost?

Answer 24

¿Cuánto cuesta?

“[it] costs” = cuesta

[What is being said in the audio recording?]
