Algún / ningún 1 (set B)

Practice exercise on the Spanish indefinite adjectives algún and ningún. Fill in each blank with the right form. Elementary–intermediate level.

📚 Quick grammar review

📐

Alguna and ninguna before feminine nouns — Alguna and ninguna are used before feminine nouns and don't shorten: ¿Hay alguna solución? No hay ninguna solución. Remember they agree with the noun they precede, not with the speaker.

🔧

Alguno/a as a pronoun — When standing alone (no noun follows), use the full form alguno / alguna: ¿Tienes bolígrafos? — Sí, tengo alguno. As pronouns they can be plural: Algunos llegaron tarde (some of them arrived late).

💡

Algún vs un — what's the difference? — Both mean "a" or "some", but algún implies "any at all" or "even one": ¿Tienes algún problema? (Do you have any problem at all?). Un simply introduces a noun without that emphasis: Tengo un problema (I have a problem).
