Submit
3. conjugate preparar in the tu form 

Explanation

The correct answer is "preparaste" because when conjugating the verb "preparar" in the tu form, we add the ending "-aste" to the stem of the verb. In this case, the stem of "preparar" is "prepar-", so we add "-aste" to get "preparaste".

6. Mis primos llegaron temprano ayer.

Explanation

The sentence "Mis primos llegaron temprano ayer" indicates that the action of "llegar" (to arrive) happened in the past.

Submit
7. conjugate ayudar in the tu form 

Explanation

The correct answer is "ayudaste" because in Spanish, when conjugating verbs in the tu form, the ending for regular -ar verbs is -aste. Therefore, to conjugate the verb "ayudar" (to help) in the tu form, we remove the -ar ending and add -aste, resulting in "ayudaste."

Submit
8. conjugate caminar in the ellos/ellas/ustedes form 

Explanation

The correct answer is "caminaron" because in Spanish, the verb "caminar" means "to walk" and in the ellos/ellas/ustedes form, it is conjugated as "caminaron." This form is used when referring to a group of people or when speaking formally to someone.

Submit
9. Ella caminó por el parque.

Explanation

The correct answer is "She walked through the park" because the sentence is in the past tense, indicated by the verb "caminó" (walked). The action of walking in the park already happened in the past, so the correct verb tense is "walked" rather than "walks" or "sings."

Submit
