Greetings Personal Info

Respuesta correcta: A) Hello

• A) HelloCorrect. 'Hello' is the English equivalent of 'Hola', the everyday greeting used to open a conversation.
• B) Goodbye'Goodbye' is how you say 'Adiós', the word for leaving, so it cannot greet someone.
• C) Please'Please' is 'por favor', the polite word used to make a request, not a greeting.
• D) Thanks'Thanks' means 'gracias' and is used to show gratitude, not to greet a person.

Respuesta correcta: B) name

• A) friend'Friend' names a person you spend time with; after 'My' the sentence needs the word for what belongs to you, which is 'name'.
• B) nameCorrect. 'Name' completes the fixed expression 'My name is Ana', the way you introduce yourself.
• C) age'Age' does follow 'My' as in 'My age is nine', but the reply 'I am Ana' tells who the person is, not how old she is.
• D) color'Color' follows 'My' as in 'My favorite color is blue'; here the sentence introduces a person, so it needs 'name'.

Respuesta correcta: C) old

• A) tall'Tall' describes height, but the reply talks about a number of years, so the question must be 'How old are you?'
• B) happy'Happy' describes a feeling, and 'I am 9 years old' answers a question about age, not about mood.
• C) oldCorrect. 'Old' is the adjective that follows 'How ... are you?' when the answer gives a number of years.
• D) many'Many' counts countable objects and needs a noun after it, as in 'How many books do you have?'

Respuesta correcta: D) meet

• A) see'Nice to see you' is said to someone you already know and have just caught sight of; the phrase for an introduction is 'meet'.
• B) hearYou do not say 'Nice to hear you' to someone you are being introduced to; 'hear' refers to sounds.
• C) play'Play' needs an activity after it, as in 'nice to play with you', so it does not fit this fixed phrase.
• D) meetCorrect. 'Meet' is the verb of introduction, so 'Nice to meet you' is the phrase, and 'Nice to meet you too' is the standard reply.

Respuesta correcta: A) am

• A) amCorrect. 'Am' is the present simple of 'be' used with the pronoun 'I', so 'I am from Colombia' answers the question.
• B) is'Is' goes with 'he', 'she', 'it' in the present simple, but the subject of this answer is 'I'.
• C) are'Are' is used with 'you', 'we' and 'they'; the subject here is 'I'.
• D) be'Be' is the bare infinitive, and a complete sentence needs the conjugated form 'am', not 'be'.

Respuesta correcta: B) Good morning

• A) Hello night'Good night' is the farewell used before going to sleep, so 'Hello night' is not an English phrase.
• B) Good morningCorrect. 'Good morning' is the greeting used from sunrise until about noon, and 8:00 AM falls in that period.
• C) Good night'Good night' is said at night when going to bed, not in the morning at 8:00.
• D) Good afternoon'Good afternoon' is used after noon, roughly from 12:00 to 6:00 PM, so it does not fit 8:00 AM.

Respuesta correcta: C) in

• A) at'At' is used with a point or a specific address, as in 'I live at 45 Street'; before a city name you use 'in'.
• B) to'To' marks the destination of a movement, as in 'I go to Bogota', but 'live' describes a state, not a movement.
• C) inCorrect. 'In' is the preposition used before the name of a city or a country, so 'I live in Bogota' is right.
• D) on'On' is used with streets and surfaces, as in 'on Fifth Avenue', not with the name of a city.

Respuesta correcta: D) Apple

• A) Hi'Hi' is a short informal greeting used to say hello, so it belongs in the group of greetings.
• B) Good morning'Good morning' is the greeting used before noon, so it is a greeting.
• C) Hello'Hello' is the everyday greeting used both to greet a person and to answer the phone.
• D) AppleCorrect. 'Apple' is a fruit, not a greeting, so it is the word that does not belong.
