GCSE Spanish Exam Questions by Topic
Practise GCSE Spanish one topic at a time with original AQA, WJEC, CCEA and Edexcel-style questions. The 74 topic sets below contain 516 printable pages, with the mark scheme beside the questions so you can check the method before moving on.
How to practise exam questions by topic
- Choose the topic that cost marks in classwork or a past paper. Try the questions without notes so the first attempt shows what the student can actually recall.
- Use the mark scheme to compare the method as well as the final answer. For written subjects, check that each credited point is stated clearly; for calculations, identify the first step that went wrong.
- Revisit the same topic after a gap, then mix it into a full paper. Topic practice repairs one weakness at a time, while a timed paper checks whether the method can still be recognised among other questions.
See the method: Grammar in context: Present tense
Complete each verb in brackets with the correct present-tense form: Todos los días yo (levantarse) a las siete, (vestirse) rápidamente y (salir) de casa. Mi hermano (preferir) quedarse en la cama, pero mis padres siempre (decir) que tenemos que ser puntuales.
- levantarse is a regular reflexive -ar verb (unlike acostarse, it has no stem change), so the yo form is me levanto.
- vestirse is an e-i stem-changer, so the yo form is me visto, not me vesto.
- salir has an irregular yo form, salgo, even though it is otherwise a regular -ir verb.
- preferir is an e-ie stem-changer, and since the subject is mi hermano (él/ella), the form is prefiere.
- decir is irregular in the yo form (digo), but here the subject is mis padres, so the correct plural form is the irregular dicen.
- Full answer: Todos los días yo me levanto a las siete, me visto rápidamente y salgo de casa. Mi hermano prefiere quedarse en la cama, pero mis padres siempre dicen que tenemos que ser puntuales.
