Grammar - The Role of the Word 'Of'
This Spanish Easy Review grammar quiz will test you on the role of the word 'of'. As you begin to put Spanish words together, you will learn that the order in which the words are used in a sentence is different from how they are used in English. For example, in English we would say 'white house' but in Spanish they would say 'house of white.' Notice the 'of' between 'house' and 'white'. In Spanish, in the early stages of learning Spanish that is, 'white house' would be written out as casa de blanca. Did you notice that because the word casa is feminine so too the color was also written in the feminine version?
1 .
gold bed
cama de plata
cama de oro
oro de cama
plata de cama
The Spanish word for bed is cama and the Spanish word for gold is oro. As the color is describing the bed it is an adjective and must, therefore, come after the noun. The bed is the noun. This means that the third and last answers are not correct as the color is coming before the noun. Plata is Spanish for silver so it is not the correct color we are looking for. The second answer is translated as 'bed of gold' or 'gold bed.'
2 .
blue pen
azul de pluma
azul de lápiz
lápiz de azul
pluma de azul
The Spanish word for pen is pluma and the Spanish word for blue is azul. As the color is describing the pen it is an adjective and must, therefore, come after the noun. The pen is the noun. This means that the first and second answers are not correct as the color is coming before the noun. Lápiz is Spanish for pencil not pen so the third answer is incorrect as well. The last answer is translated as 'pen of blue' or 'blue pen'.
3 .
purple chair
silla de violeta
lavanda de silla
silla de lavanda
violeta de silla
The Spanish word for chair is silla and the Spanish word for purple is violeta. As the color is describing the chair it is an adjective and must, therefore, come after the noun.

The first answer is translated as 'chair of purple' or 'purple chair'.
4 .
yellow skirt
vestido de amarilla
vestido de amarillo
falda de amarillo
falda de amarilla
The Spanish word for skirt is falda and the Spanish word for yellow is amarillo. As the color is describing the skirt it is an adjective and must, therefore, come after the noun. The skirt is the noun. Skirt is also a feminine word so the color must take on the feminine form meaning that amarillo will need to be used as amarilla. Vestido is Spanish for dress so we can quickly eliminate the first and second answers, and the third answer shows the color word in the masculine form making it incorrect. The last answer on the other hand shows the correct order of words and the correct gender and is translated as 'skirt of yellow' or 'yellow skirt'.
