I've sent this to our Spanish expert, Sra.
Because the questions are in English, they should be very clear to you.
1. Always check number (singular/plural) and gender (masculine/feminine) of all adjectives. "Esta muchacha" is feminine and singular BUT the adjective "bonito" is singular and masculine. Make it feminine. I'll flag this so I can come back later to see if you have done it correctly and/or if you have questions.
2. Get a good dictionary, Spanish to English/English to Spanish to find the correct verb for "to taste." A comes from comprar = to buy/purchase, B. comes from probar = to test/proove/try out AND to taste, C comes from venir - to come/arrive.
3. Again, check the number and gender of everything, including the noun here. "la" is feminine and singular like Margarita BUT señor is masculine and singular! Make it feminine and singular as well.

Bonito should be bonita and señor should be señora.
I think i get it. In English you would just call someone American, but in Spanish you have to identify if they are a man or women so you would say Americano and Americana.
Thank you so much!!

Yes! You have the idea. We don't worry about gender in English, but you do in other languages. Good job!
