Review
Compré un billete para viajar el sábado por la mañana. Cuando revisé el mensaje, vi que había elegido el domingo. Llamé a la estación y expliqué lo que había pasado. La persona que me atendió pudo cambiar la fecha, aunque tuve que pagar una pequeña diferencia. Guardé el nuevo billete en el móvil y lo comprobé otra vez. Ahora miro el día antes de confirmar una compra.
- viajar el sabado → viajar el sábado
«viajar el sábado»: The stress falls on the third-last syllable; Spanish esdrújula words require a written accent.
- habia elegido → había elegido
«había elegido»: A stressed í next to an unstressed a or e forms a hiatus and requires an accent, including when the general ending rule alone would not require one.
- Llame a → Llamé a
«Llamé a»: The stress is on the last syllable; this form ends in a vowel or n, so it takes a written accent.
- me atendio → me atendió
«me atendió»: The stress is on the last syllable; this form ends in a vowel or n, so it takes a written accent.
- tuve que pa gar → tuve que pagar
«tuve que pagar»: Pagar is one infinitive; splitting it produces two written units that do not represent this verb.
- en el movil → en el móvil
«en el móvil»: The stress is on the second-last syllable, and the word ends in l rather than a vowel, n or s; it requires an accent.
Compare heard words separately from spelling. There is no automatic score. Alternative standard punctuation preserving relationships and meaning is acceptable; a different comma does not imply a misheard word. Then review capitals and diacritics against the model.
Retain all words, their order, articles, prepositions and endings. Do not substitute synonyms or expand contractions. The six notes illustrate revision: compare the entire text, not only those six points.
