IV. Fill in the blank
Students fill have to know how to fill in the blank with indefinite articles and definite articles, know which verb to put in the blank, and be able to make adjectives agree with the noun, in masculine, feminine, singular, or plural forms.

Example: 
     Use the correct form of the verb: Yo ______(llevo)_________ una camisa.

For these kinds of verb fill in the blanks, look at the subject (what goes in front of the verb), and ask yourself if it a I, you, he, she, you all, or they, and then choose the right verb.

      Ana = she = ella
      Juan = he = él
      Ana y María = they = ellas
      Ana y Juan = they = ellos
      Ana y yo = we = nosotros/nosotras
      Ana y tú = you all = vosotros/vosotras OR ustedes (both forms are acceptable)
      El maestro = he = él
      La chica = she = ella

     Use the correct indefinite article:      Yo llevo ____(una)____________ camisa.

The indefinite article must agree with the clothing word, in masculine/feminine/singular/plural.

     Use the correct definite article, and correct form of the adjective:
                           __(La)___ camisa es ______(roja)_______ (red)

The definite article and the adjective must agree with the clothing word, in masculine/feminine/singular/plural.

Students will also have to write original sentences with adjectives of description or personality.
