Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: C)the kitchen
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "the kitchen". House vocabulary is taught as a set of rooms with a function attached, and pairing each room with what happens in it is what makes the words retrievable. Colombian homes have recognisable arrangements for kitchen, dining room and patio, so the student can connect the English word to a room they have actually been in rather than to a diagram.

Using the preposition in with the word living room.
Where is the sofa? Choose the correct sentence.
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: A)The sofa is in the living room.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "The sofa is in the living room". Two separate habits meet in this sentence: the preposition in for a container, and the definite article on a room name. Rooms are also where the prepositions of place from the second period reappear, so getting in, on and at settled now makes the giving-directions work in the fourth period much easier.

Respuesta correcta: A)The sofa is in the living room.
A)The sofa is in the living room.The living room is treated as a container, and English uses the preposition in for something inside a room.
B)The sofa is in living room.The name of the room needs the definite article in front of living room when it is mentioned as a specific room.
C)The sofa is on the living room.On would place the sofa on top of the room itself, but the room is a container rather than a surface.
D)The sofa is at living room.At names a point or a specific location rather than a container, and the article is also missing here.

Locating objects from a short description of a house.
Read: "The fridge is in the kitchen. The bed is in the bedroom. The books are on the shelf." Where are the books?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: D)On the shelf.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "On the shelf". The text offers four locations and only one of them belongs to the books, so the student has to hold three separate piece of information apart. Each distractor is a real location from the text attached to the wrong object, which is the standard shape of a reading item and the one that penalises guessing.

Respuesta correcta: D)On the shelf.
A)In the kitchen.The kitchen is where the fridge is, and the text gives no other information about books there.
B)In the bedroom.The bedroom is where the bed is, and the text does not place the books in that room.
C)On the fridge.The fridge is mentioned as being in the kitchen, and the text never puts books on top of it.
D)On the shelf.The text states directly that the books are on the shelf, and the preposition used is on.

Choosing the right preposition to describe where something hangs.
There is a picture ________ the wall in the hallway. Which preposition completes the sentence?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: B)on
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "on". The distinction between on, in and at is the one Spanish does not force students to make, so it has to be practised deliberately. A picture on a wall, a cup on a table and a lamp on a ceiling all take on, and once that pattern is secure the student can apply it without thinking.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: B)on
A)inIn would place the picture inside the wall itself, which is not what a hanging picture does.
B)onA picture hangs flat against a surface, and English uses on for something attached to a wall like this.
C)underUnder refers to a position below something, and the picture is described as being on the wall.
D)atAt names a point or a location rather than the flat contact with a surface that this requires.

Asking a friend where an object is kept at home.
You need your keys and you cannot find them. Which question do you ask your friend?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: A)Where are my keys?
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "Where are my keys?" English has a fixed question word for each kind of information, and a student who mixes up what, where and when cannot ask for what they need. Practising the question word that matches the missing information is the practical half of this week's vocabulary work, and it is the same distinction the exam tests in its reading items.

Respuesta correcta: A)Where are my keys?
A)Where are my keys?The question asks for the location of an object, which is exactly what is needed to find the keys.
B)What are my keys?What asks for the identity or nature of something, and the answer would be a description rather than a place.
C)When are my keys?When asks about time, and knowing the time would not help locate the keys.
D)Who are my keys?Who asks for a person, and keys are objects rather than people, so the question does not make sense here.

Naming the part of a house that is open to the outside.
In a Colombian house, what is the name of the open area where plants grow and the family sits?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: C)the patio
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "the patio". A Colombian patio is a real and central part of the home, and knowing the English word for it is genuinely useful rather than decorative, because it is the kind of word that comes up when a student describes where a family spends an afternoon. Linking the word to the architecture the student actually lives in is what turns vocabulary into something they can use.

Respuesta correcta: C)the patio
A)the balconyA balcony projects from a wall above ground level, and it is not the central open area of the house.
B)the basementA basement is a room below ground level, and it is not the open area where plants grow.
C)the patioA patio is the open courtyard of a Colombian house, and it is where plants grow and the family gathers.
D)the pantryA pantry is a small room or cupboard for storing food, and it is not an open space with plants.

Respuesta correcta: B)There is a bed and there is a wardrobe in the bedroom.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "There is a bed and there is a wardrobe in the bedroom". There is is the construction students reach for automatically and rarely need correcting, so this is the high-confidence item in the week, placed where the harder preposition work has already been established. Even a secure form is worth assessing, because the error of using it has where a place is concerned is common enough to be worth catching early.

Respuesta correcta: B)There is a bed and there is a wardrobe in the bedroom.
A)It has a bed and it has a wardrobe.English normally uses there is to say what a place contains, while it has refers to a thing that owns or possesses.
B)There is a bed and there is a wardrobe in the bedroom.The construction there is introduces the existence of each object and is the standard way to list what a room contains.
C)The bedroom is a bed and a wardrobe.Saying the room is the objects confuses the place with its contents, and the verb to be does not describe possession.
D)In the bedroom there a bed and a wardrobe.The verb is missing after there, so the existential construction would be left grammatically incomplete.

Working out the function of a room from what a text says happens there.
Read: "Every evening my grandmother sits here, reads the newspaper and talks with us." Which room is she in?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: D)The living room.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "The living room". The room is never named in the text, so the student has to infer it from the activities described, which is a genuine reading inference rather than a lookup. Each distractor is a real room whose function does not match what the grandmother is doing, so the reasoning has to run through the meaning of the actions.

Respuesta correcta: D)The living room.
A)The bathroom.Reading a newspaper and talking with the family is not what happens in a bathroom.
B)The bedroom at night.The text says every evening rather than at bedtime, and it describes a shared family activity rather than rest.
C)The kitchen.A kitchen is used for cooking and eating, and the text mentions neither of those here.
D)The living room.Sitting, reading and talking with the family in the evening is what a living room is used for.

Finding the error in a description of a room.
A student writes: "The closet is in the kitchen." The teacher says this is wrong. What is the best reason?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: A)A closet normally holds clothes, so it is in a bedroom or a hallway, not a kitchen.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is the one about closets holding clothes. Every part of the sentence is grammatically correct, so the only way to reject it is on the grounds of what is actually true in a house. Judging plausibility separately from grammar is a distinct and valuable skill, and it is the reasoning an exam expects when it asks which sentence could really happen.

Respuesta correcta: A)A closet normally holds clothes, so it is in a bedroom or a hallway, not a kitchen.
A)A closet normally holds clothes, so it is in a bedroom or a hallway, not a kitchen.The preposition is correct and the error is one of real-world plausibility, since a closet stores clothes rather than food.
B)In is not the correct preposition for a room.In is exactly the right preposition for something inside a room, so the problem lies elsewhere.
C)A room cannot be named with the definite article.The definite article is required before the name of a specific room, and the article is not the problem here.
D)Kitchen is not an English word.Kitchen is a perfectly standard English word, and the sentence is about where the closet is placed.

Choosing the best way to describe a home for a guest.
You are showing a visitor around your home. Which description is most useful?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: D)This is the living room, and through that door you can see the patio where we eat in the afternoon.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is the one that names the room and points onward. Describing a space for someone who is physically in it is a real communicative task with a real criterion, namely whether the listener could orient themselves afterwards. The three distractors each fail in a different way, being too general, too abstract or merely expressive, which makes the choice a judgement rather than a recall.

Respuesta correcta: D)This is the living room, and through that door you can see the patio where we eat in the afternoon.
A)I like my house very much.This expresses an opinion rather than helping the visitor find anything, so it does not serve the purpose of the tour.
B)This is a room in a house.This says nothing that distinguishes this room from any other, so it gives the visitor no sense of the space.
C)The house has rooms, and they are all different sizes.This is a general statement about the house rather than a description of where the visitor is standing.
D)This is the living room, and through that door you can see the patio where we eat in the afternoon.This names the room, points the way and gives the visitor a reason to keep looking, which is what a guided tour needs.
