Models written for this site to show what the mark schemes describe. Examiners mark the whole answer, so no single feature guarantees a mark. Spellings close to correct, wrong gender or agreement, and missing or wrong accents (unless they change the meaning) don't affect communication. Wrong verb forms and wrong pronouns affect communication: "Ayer como un bocadillo", "Te gusta el deporte" for "Me gusta el deporte".
