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

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).

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

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."

Submit

6. Which ending do you use for "ar" verbs? 

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.

Submit

7. What does this sentence mean: Estaba montando?

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.

Submit

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

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.
