    Anyone doing spanish here? I have done very little for the old test coming up. Was wondering how everyone else was getting on. Anyideas for the theme. eg. what the opinion piece is going to be on? I managed to SERIOUSLY waffle the mock paper, and ended up with 70% so im hoping to do alright. Need to go over some stuff though

    Yea, she did. I'll put some subjenctive in the opinion, but apart from the, i'll try to keep away. I used simple simple Spanish in my mock, and did fine.

    Maybe just go over the endings, cos sometimes in the note/diary entry it's impossible to avoid using the present subjunctive. The imperfect subjunctive is probably avoidable though.
    I seem to lose a lot of marks in the reading comprehensions (well, not a LOT, but more than I'd like), especially where you have to give one word from the passage that means the same as another word that they give you. Anyone have any tips on this?

    the word doesn't have to be the exact same, it just has to fit in the sentence in context. try putting a word in, translating the sentence and seeing if it's roughly the same.
    the present subjunctive is just for giving orders, isn't it??

    I've decided to do ordinary for sure.I just haven't put enough work in to do the dialogues/letters and essays.

    I haven't done anything for Spanish yet, but I'm thinking I should have enough time tomorrow to go over grammar and learn a few phrases for the essay? what else can you do really?

    I don't think you can do much else, that's why I have such problems with it - I don't know how to improve!!
