Year 9 is the awkward bridge year: still Key Stage 3 in school life, but already starting GCSE habits. This page gives free Year 9 Spanish practice from GradeNinja's own bank - 77 auto-marked questions across 1 Year 9 topic set.
The aim is not to cram GCSE papers early. It is to make the first GCSE topics feel normal: short retrieval practice, clear corrections, and enough repetition that classwork sticks before Year 10 gets busy.
Use these as ten-minute checks after a lesson or before homework. If you miss one, read the explanation, then come back tomorrow and answer it cold.
Year 9 questions are pulled from late Key Stage 3 and foundation GCSE bridge material. They should feel harder than Year 8, but they are not meant to be full Year 11 exam questions.
Answer first, then reveal. The useful bit is the retrieval attempt, not reading the answer. If a topic keeps going wrong, paste the homework or Google Classroom text into GradeNinja's Classroom import tool and turn it into a focused pack.

¡Buenas noches!
'¡Buenas noches!' is used in the evening and at night. '¡Buenos días!' is for the morning, and '¡Buenas tardes!' is for the afternoon (roughly noon to 8pm in Spain).
Los coches rojos
'Los coches rojos' is correct. The adjective 'rojo' must agree with 'coches' (masculine plural), so it becomes 'rojos'.
el
'El libro' is correct. 'Libro' is masculine, so it takes 'el' (singular) or 'los' (plural). The ending -o usually indicates a masculine noun.
I went to Spain
'Fui a' means 'I went to' and 'España' means 'Spain'.
padre
Padre = father; madre = mother; hermano = brother; abuelo = grandfather.
