FYI for Spanish learners, elaborating on what Erito's pointed out (good job btw!!
)...
Conocer = used for "to know" for a person (conocer a) or place (conocer)
Saber = used for "to know" information. When in the preterite (past), it means that you found out. When used in the imperfect (ongoing past), it means that you knew.
Yo sé que eres alto. (I know that you're tall.)
Yo supe que tuviste un catarro. (I found out that you had a cold.)
Yo sabía que no tuviste tu tarea. (I knew that you didn't have your homework.)
Natives, please feel free to correct me. Especially in the last example; should it have been "tenías" instead of "tuviste", or is either ok?Minä olen horjunut, epäilen enemmän kuin ennen

for saber look at anna's answer, and what do you mean when you say día is male? and their mail?
I don't see mistakes in your post Anna but I'm not expert in grammar
well keep studying meanwhile I'll go for a coffee yeah -
Loool nope didnt even LOOK at his answers I promise! Nah I wrote grande, he wrote gran, we cant both be right
So I got 8/10?
Thank you Anna! I will try and understand your explanation later
Erito - enjoy!! and thank you amigo

Intermediate?? jajajaja stick to beginner

SPANISH QUIZ FOR VIVA PART II
11. España ___ en la península Ibérica
[*] están[*] estamos[*] estoy[*] está
está - this is just conjugation, but locations always use the verb "estar" rather than "ser", FYI.
12. Yo ____ la tarea de matemática todas las noches
[*] hace[*] hago[*] haga[*] hacemos
Hago - this is just simple conjugation as well.
13. Yo ___ la información
[*] se[*] conoces[*] sé[*] saber
Sé - again, what I wrote before... I know the information, not that I would say "I recognise the info." You could say that in English, but conocer in Spanish is just for people and places. Not to mention, it would be "yo conozco" because it's irregular
14. la cocina ___ sucia ahora.
[*] está[*] estan[*] esta[*] estar
Está - conjugation again...
15. Ellos _______ Chicago muy bien
[*] saben[*] conocen[*] conocemos[*] saber
Conocen - Here's where you two went wrong. Read my post above, on the difference between conocer and saber. You really need to know this (it will haunt you again later
)!!
16. ¿Qué ves? yo ___ un gato
[*] ves[*] ve[*] ver[*] veo
Veo - conjugation.
17. Mañana vamos a tener una fiesta. Será un ____ día.
[*] grande[*] grand[*] gran[*] fantástica
Gran - I don't know what to say; this is a weird question, in my opinion If you say "grande", "día" has to come first, and the sentence would mean "It will be a big (as in [i]large[/i ] day," which sounds odd in Spanish to me.
"Un gran día" means something more like a "grand day", although I'd never say that in this way.
Just for your reference, fantástica has 2 reasons why it cannot work... 1. The obvious - it's feminine, and día is masculine, as Viva pointed out already (I think she said "male"?) and 2. because it would have to follow día ("un día fantástico"). Adjectives will often follow the noun they're modifying in Spanish.
18. ¿cúal es su carro? [his] ___ carro es este
[*] me[*] su[*] mio[*] tu
su - possessive pronoun agreement the person who owns it is a singular third-person, and the object owned is a singular masculine object.
19. en la escuela, ¿quiénes ___ inteligentes?
[*] son[*] seré[*] es[*] soy
son - conjugation
20. ___ maestra de matemática es muy estricta
[*] las[*] un[*] el [*] la
La - article agreement (feminine singular)
I hope this was somewhat helpful
Minä olen horjunut, epäilen enemmän kuin ennen
Mutta halusit ihmisen, sen viat, sen heikkouden -
very nice you have future as a teacher
well I don't see "gran día" weird, sounds very normal to me I think the best sentence to express that should be a great day
tomorrow we'll have a party. It will be a great day
what do you think about that? -
Phenomenal!
rica Vivo, no es pobre español

hey here's some more info about saber and conocer.
in Spanish, there are two verbs that express the idea "to know." These two verbs are "saber" and "conocer." The verb you choose depends upon the context in which it is used. These verbs are not interchangeable.
To express knowledge or ignorance of a fact or information about something, use "saber."
To say that one is or is not acquainted with a person, a place, or an object, use conocer.Juan sabe donde está María.
Juan knows where Maria is.
Yo no sé tu número de teléfono.
I don't know your telephone number.
To express knowledge or ignorance of a subject or learning discipline, use saber or conocer, depending upon the context.Yo no conozco a María.
I don't know (am not acquainted with) Maria.
Alberto y Alfredo conocen Madrid.
Alberto and Alfredo know (are acquainted with) Madrid.
To express knowledge or ignorance of a skill, or how to do something, use saber + infinitive.Juan no sabe nada de inglés.
Juan doesn't know any English.
Él sabe matemáticas.
He knows mathematics.
To say that you know something by heart, use saber.María sabe conducir.
Maria knows how to drive.
No sé nadar muy bien.
I don't know how to swim very well.
The situation with regards to the correct use of saber and conocer can be summarized as follows:María sabe los verbos irregulares.
Maria knows the irregular verbs (by heart).
Ella no sabe la letra de esa canción.
She doesn't know the words to that song.
saber
to know a fact, to know something thoroughly, to know how to do something
conocer
to be acquainted with a person, place, or thing -
