    How would you say "I was dancing" using past progressive? 

    • Estabamos correindo

    • Estas correindo.

    • Estaba correindo.

    Correct Answer
    A. Estaba correindo.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Estaba correindo." This is the correct way to say "I was dancing" using the past progressive tense in Spanish. The verb "estar" is conjugated in the past tense form "estaba" to indicate the ongoing action, and the verb "correindo" is the gerund form of the verb "correr" (to dance).

    A. I was living in Mexico.
    Explanation
    The sentence "Estaba viviendo en Mexico" is in the past tense, indicated by the verb "estaba" (was) and the gerund form "viviendo" (living). Therefore, the correct answer is "I was living in Mexico," as it accurately reflects the past continuous action of living in Mexico.

    • Juan was buying the TV.

    • Juan was fixing the TV

    • Juan was hitting the TV.

    Explanation
    The sentence "Juan estaba arreglando la tele" means "Juan was fixing the TV." This implies that Juan was repairing or adjusting the television, not buying or hitting it.

    How would you say: Maria was running in past progressive? 

    • Maria estas corriendo.

    • Maria estaba corriendo.

    • Maria estaba comiendo.

    Correct Answer
    A. Maria estaba corriendo.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Maria estaba corriendo" because the phrase "estaba corriendo" is in the past progressive tense in Spanish, which indicates an ongoing action in the past. The verb "estaba" is the past tense of the verb "estar" (to be) and "corriendo" is the present participle of the verb "correr" (to run). Therefore, the sentence translates to "Maria was running."

    Which ending do you use for "ar" verbs? 

    • Ando

    • Er

    • Ir

    Correct Answer
    A. Ando
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "ando" because the ending "ando" is used for "ar" verbs in Spanish. When conjugating verbs that end in "ar" in the present participle form (-ing form), you replace the "ar" with "ando". For example, the verb "hablar" (to speak) becomes "hablando" (speaking) in the present participle form.

    What does this sentence mean: Estaba montando?

    • I was riding.

    • I was working.

    • I was painting.

    Correct Answer
    A. I was riding.
    Explanation
    The sentence "Estaba montando" translates to "I was riding" in English. It implies that the speaker was engaged in the act of riding something, such as a bike or a horse. The other options, "I was working" and "I was painting," do not accurately convey the meaning of the original sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which ending do you use for "er/ir" verbs? 

    • Lungo

    • Mundo

    • Iendo

    Correct Answer
    A. Iendo
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "iendo". In Spanish, the ending "iendo" is used for the present participle form of "er/ir" verbs. This form is used to express an ongoing action. For example, the verb "comer" (to eat) would become "comiendo" (eating) in the present participle form.
