Hints for this Quiz

Look for the option with “podrías + infinitivo” and a self‑care meaning, not self‑exploitation.

For a gentle piece of advice we use “podrías + infinitivo”. Here it’s a realistic, well‑meaning recommendation. In Spanish, advice is often phrased with modal verbs (deberías / podrías / te convendría) and the structure “Si yo fuera tú…”, which is typical for B1 level and for topics about limits, schedules, and giving advice in the Spanish work‑culture context.

After “Si yo fuera tú,” you need the condicional simple form.

In conditional advice we use the formula: “si + imperfecto de subjuntivo (fuera), condicional simple (hablaría)”. This form sounds polite and natural in Spanish when giving advice.

Choose the condicional form of “convenir” + infinitive.

Structure for giving advice that highlights the benefit for the person: “te convendría + infinitivo”. The conditional softens the advice and emphasizes that it’s good for you.

Remember the pattern: Si yo fuera tú + condicional simple.

The structure for advice is: “si + imperfecto de subjuntivo” (fuera) → “condicional simple” (cerraría). This is how a gentle recommendation sounds, without a bossy tone.

Look for the option with flexible hours and “desconexión digital”, not with working extra hours.

Contexto: joven profesional trabajando de madrugada, muchos posits, varias pestañas abiertas, cara cansada.

In Spain there is an ongoing discussion about moving from “presentismo” (being at your desk just to be seen) to efficiency and taking care of mental health. Advice often includes “flexibilidad horaria”, “jornada intensiva” and “desconexión digital” as key elements of workplace wellbeing.

After “podrías” you need an infinitive, without “a” and without a subordinate clause with “que”.

Grammar: “podrías + infinitivo”. Content: “bloques de tiempo” is a common productivity strategy in the Spanish work context.

After “deberías” put the infinitive directly.

Contexto: cena con amigos; móvil con notificaciones silenciadas.

Correct structure: “deberías + infinitivo”. This fits with the idea of “desconexión digital” for wellbeing and work‑life balance, a frequent topic of discussion in Spain.

Look for the combination with correctly formed advice structures and common sense (breaks, priorities, digital disconnection).

All three pieces of advice are grammatically correct and match the cultural context in Spain (priorities, breaks, disconnection). They use typical advice structures: “Si yo fuera tú + condicional”, “podrías + inf.”, “te convendría + inf.”. The themes connect with debates about schedules, work–life balance and mental wellbeing.
