    What's the correct car form of the verb busco?

    • A. 

      Busco

    • B. 

      Buscar

    • C. 

      Busque

    Correct Answer
    B. Buscar
    Explanation
    The correct car form of the verb "busco" is "buscar." In Spanish, "busco" is the first person singular present tense form of the verb "buscar," which means "to search" or "to look for." Therefore, "buscar" is the correct option as it is the infinitive form of the verb.

    What's the correct gar form of the verb pago? 

    • A. 

      Pague

    • B. 

      Pago

    • C. 

      Pagar

    Correct Answer
    C. Pagar
    Explanation
    The correct gar form of the verb "pago" is "pagar." This is because in Spanish, the verb "pago" is in the present tense for the first person singular form "I pay." To form the gar verb form, the infinitive form "pagar" is used.

    What's the correct zar form of the verb comenzar?

    • A. 

      Comenzar

    • B. 

      Comenzo

    • C. 

      Comenzaba

    Correct Answer
    A. Comenzar
    Explanation
    The correct zar form of the verb "comenzar" is "comenzaba." This is because when conjugating the verb in the preterite tense for the third person singular (él, ella, usted), the ending "-ó" is used instead of "-aba" or "-ía." Therefore, "comenzo" is incorrect as it does not follow the correct conjugation pattern for this verb.

    How would you say "I'll pay" in Spanish?

    • A. 

      Yo pagar

    • B. 

      Yo pague

    • C. 

      Tu pagar

    • D. 

      Option 4

    Correct Answer
    B. Yo pague
    Explanation
    "Yo pague" is the correct answer because it translates to "I'll pay" in Spanish. The verb "pagar" means "to pay" and the pronoun "yo" means "I". In Spanish, the future tense is often formed by adding the ending "-é" to the infinitive verb, so "pague" is the correct conjugation for "I'll pay".

    Forms car, gar, zar are...? 

    • A. 

      Irregular

    • B. 

      Imperfect

    • C. 

      Preterite

    Correct Answer
    C. Preterite
    Explanation
    The forms car, gar, zar are preterite. In Spanish, certain verbs undergo a spelling change in the preterite tense when they end in -car, -gar, or -zar. The spelling change is necessary to maintain the original sound of the verb stem. For example, in the preterite tense, the verb "buscar" (to search) changes to "busqué" (I searched) to preserve the /k/ sound. Similarly, "llegar" (to arrive) becomes "llegué" (I arrived) to maintain the /g/ sound. And "empezar" (to start) changes to "empecé" (I started) to keep the /z/ sound.

      Investigar

    • B. 

      Apagar

    • C. 

      Jugar

    Correct Answer
    C. Jugar
    Explanation
    The word "jugar" is the correct answer because it means "to play" in Spanish. The question is asking for a word that describes the verb "play," and "jugar" fits that description.

    • A. 

      Ilegue

    • B. 

      Ilegaste

    • C. 

      Ilego

    Correct Answer
    A. Ilegue
    Explanation
    The correct preterit form of the verb "llegar" in the first person singular is "llegué." This form indicates that the action of arriving happened in the past. "Ilegue" is not a correct preterit form, as it does not follow the conjugation rules for regular -ar verbs in Spanish.
