Notes for teachers

Use this test after introducing all three regular verb groups, or as a diagnostic before moving on to irregular verbs. It targets typical A1 errors: mixing -er and -ir endings (vivemos, escribemos), using second-person forms with usted, putting 'no' in the wrong place and answering a tú question with the wrong person. For follow-up, ask students to write five true sentences about their daily routine, including two negatives and one question.
