The difference between a reflexive verb (lavarse) and a non-reflexive verb (lavar). With a reflexive verb, SELF or SELVES will be involved. Me lavo = I wash myself (literally) or I get washed. lavo = MUST have an object: I wash, do wash or AM washing "something" must be named. I wash the dog, the car, the floor, etc.
The passive voice is what you are doing here. se vende = one thing is sold / se venden = 2 + things ARE sold. The agent, or person selling is NOT mentioned and the focus is on the THING instead.
Now we'll look at each one that you missed.
#2 = How much money IS LEFT to me, Dad? a) Three dollars ARE LEFT to you. (THIS is the answer.) b) Three dollars IS LEFT to me. c) One dollar IS LEFT to him/or to her. d) Five dollars IS LEFT to you. (You chose this one, but dollars is plural and the verb must be as well.
#6. IS your head hurting you? a) NO, it isn't hurting me. (THIS is the answer.) b) No, it isn't hurting you. c) Yes, THEY ARE hurting me a lot. d) It is hurting him (or her) a lot. (you chose this one = again compare the question with the answer. Your head? MY head.)
#7. Is one ticket enough for them? a) Yes, one is enough for US. b) One ARE left for them. (You selected this one but ticket is singular, not plural.) c) One ARE enough for us. d) One IS enough for THEM. (THIS is the answer.)
Are you with me so far?
#8. What IS lacking to me, Mom? (What am I missing?) a) Money ARE lacking/missing to you. b) My books are lacking/missing to me. c) Your books are lacking/ missing to you. (THIS is the answer.) d) To eat breakfast (Eating breakfast) ARE lacking/missing to you. (You selected this one but "to eat" is singular, not plural.)
#11. She worries a lot = gets worried = worries HERSELF. a) She worries a lot (THIS is the answer.) b) She to worry a lot. (The verb MUST be conjugated to agree with the subject/ella.) c) She is worrying HIM a lot. (You selected this one, but it is a reflexive verb, not a non-reflexive verb.) d) She is worried a lot.
#13. Where are tortillas sold. (literally it looks like "tortillas sell THEMSELVES") a) Where IS tortillas SOLD? b) Where are tortillas BEING SOLD? (You selected this one and it's close but not right on.) c) Where are tortillas selling themselves (literally, but translated as: "Where are tortillas sold?" = THIS is the answer.) d) Whee IS the tortillas SOLD?
#14. I will get married tomorrow. (This is a reflexive verb because MYSELF is getting married. If it were a non-reflexive verb, I would be the minister, priest, etc. marrying "someone" to "someone else.") a) I will get married tomorrow. (THIS is it.) b) I you will marry me tomorrow. (this can not be, because I is the subject, not you.) c) I will marry (but you need a name of someone) tomorrow. (You selected this one, meaning you do not understand the difference between a reflexive and non-reflexive verb.) d) I marry, do marry, am marrying.........WHOM? tomorrow.
15. We dried off after falling in the water. NOW I need to explain that after a preposition (después de) the ONLY form of a verb you may have is an INFINITIVE. Just memorize: "PREPOSITION + INFINITIVE." a) We dried (WHOM?) after falling in the water. b) We dried HIM/HERSELF after falling in the water. (We = nos) c) We dried off after falling in the water. (THIS is the answer.) d) We dried off after we fell in the water. (You selected this one, but if you know "PREPOSITION + INFINITIVE" you will know why it is incorrect.)
