Use VENIR and IR to fill in the blanks: "¿Querés _____ a mi casa ahora?" "Sí, ahora yo ______ a tu casa."
Correct Answer
venir voyExplanation
The Conversation should go like this:
"¿Querés venir a mi casa ahora?"
"Sí, ahora yo voy a tu casa."
In the first case we use VENIR because the movement is going to where the speaker is. VENIR is in the infinitive form because it follows the conjugated verb "Querés". Essentially it is: Do you want to come to my house?
In the second case the speaker is going to a location, so we use VOY, the first person singular of IR.Rate this question:
