- A.
Ha sido
- B.
Han hecho
- C.
Ha hecho
- D.
Han sido
Correct Answer
A. Ha sidoExplanation
The correct answer is "ha sido." In this sentence, the speaker is talking about their life being luxurious for many years. The verb "ser" (to be) is used to describe a permanent or long-lasting state or characteristic. The present perfect tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "haber" (to have) followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, "ha sido" is the correct form of the verb "ser" in the present perfect tense, agreeing with the singular subject "mi vida" (my life).Rate this question:

In Spanish, the present perfect tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "haber" (to have) in the present tense followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, "han" is the present tense of "haber" and "comprado" is the past participle of "comprar" (to buy).Rate this question:

- A.
Has vivido
- B.
Hemos vivido
- C.
Han vivido
- D.
Ha vivido
Correct Answer
D. Ha vividoExplanation
The correct answer is "ha vivido". In this sentence, the subject "Mi novia" (my girlfriend) is singular and the verb "haber" (to have) needs to agree with it. Since "Mi novia" is a third person singular subject, the correct form of "haber" is "ha". The verb "vivir" (to live) needs to be in the past participle form, which is "vivido". Therefore, the correct conjugation is "ha vivido", meaning "my girlfriend has lived".Rate this question:

Se habían graduarse
- B.
Se había graduarse
- C.
Se había graduado
- D.
Había graduado
Correct Answer
C. Se había graduadoExplanation
The correct answer is "se había graduado". In the sentence, the subject "mi amigo" is implied, and the verb "graduarse" needs to agree with it. Since "mi amigo" is singular and masculine, the verb should be in the third-person singular form. Additionally, the use of the auxiliary verb "haber" in the past tense "había" indicates that the action of graduating happened before the arrival at NAU. Therefore, the correct conjugation is "se había graduado".Rate this question:

- A.
Hayan aprendido
- B.
Hayas aprendido
- C.
Haya aprendido
- D.
Hayamos aprendido
Correct Answer
C. Haya aprendidoExplanation
The correct answer is "haya aprendido." In this sentence, the verb "espero" (I hope) is followed by the conjunction "que" (that), which introduces a subordinate clause. The main verb in the subordinate clause is "aprender" (to learn), which needs to be conjugated in the present perfect subjunctive to match the tense of the main verb "espero." The correct conjugation for the third person singular (él/ella/usted) is "haya aprendido."Rate this question:
