2. When you are left with the stem of the verb, for example, recibir– ir  =  recib (the stem) and then you add on the appropriate ending to match the subject. 

Explanation

The given answer is true because when conjugating verbs in Spanish, you typically remove the ending of the verb to get the stem, and then add on the appropriate ending to match the subject. In this case, the example provided shows the verb "recibir" and its stem "recib" before adding the appropriate ending. This is a common practice in Spanish verb conjugation.

Submit
3. I attend the party.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Yo asisto a la fiesta." This is the correct translation of the given sentence "I attend the party" in Spanish. The word "yo" means "I" and "asisto" means "attend" in Spanish. The phrase "a la fiesta" means "to the party." Therefore, the correct translation is "Yo asisto a la fiesta."

Submit
4. A word that replaces the proper names of nouns.

Explanation

Subject pronouns are a type of pronoun that replace the proper names of nouns when they are used as the subject of a sentence. In this case, "subject pronouns" is the correct answer because they are the words that replace the proper names of nouns in the given examples.

Submit

Explanation

2nd person singular is the vowel plus an "s".

Submit
6. Beatriz __________________ muchas verduras y frutas. (comer)

Explanation

The subject pronoun is "ella" meaning "she". Therefore, the correct conjugation is "come" (3rd person singular).

Submit
7. Paco _________________ muy rápido. (correr)

Explanation

The correct answer is "corre" because the verb "correr" is conjugated in the third person singular form to match the subject "Paco".

Submit
8. A part of speech indicating action.

Explanation

The correct answer is "verbo" because it is the part of speech that indicates action. A verb is a word that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being. It is the main element of a sentence and is essential for conveying meaning and expressing actions. Verbs can be used in different tenses and forms to indicate various actions or states.

Submit
9. To change the verb from the infinitive to a form that matches the subject.

Explanation

The correct answer is "conjugate." To conjugate a verb means to change its form to match the subject. This is necessary in order to correctly express tense, person, and number in a sentence. The other options, "congregate," "concentrate," and "communicate," do not involve changing the form of a verb to match the subject.

Submit
10. El artista ___________________ pintar la pared en la tarde. (prometer)

Explanation

"He" is third person singular subject pronoun that can replace "the artist".

Submit
11. Alexis y yo (correr) en el gimnasio.

Explanation

The correct answer is "corremos" because the subject of the sentence is "Alexis y yo," which is a first-person plural pronoun. In Spanish, when the subject is "we," the verb conjugation is in the first-person plural form. Therefore, the correct form of the verb "correr" (to run) to match the subject is "corremos."

Submit
12. Yo __________ mucho porque mi familia es muy distante. (sufrir)

Explanation

First person singular. Drop the -ir ending and add an -o.

Submit
13. Mis hermanas y yo ______________ aceites esenciales. (vender)

Explanation

The correct answer is "vendemos" because the verb "vender" is conjugated in the present tense for the subject "mis hermanas y yo". "Vendemos" means "we sell" in English, which agrees with the subject "my sisters and I" in the sentence.

Submit
14. The person or thing doing the action.

Explanation

The correct answer is "subject." In a sentence, the subject is the person or thing that is performing the action. It is the main focus of the sentence and usually comes before the verb. The subject is essential for understanding who or what is doing the action in a sentence.

Submit
15. Usted ______________ muy bien. Quiero escribir como tú. (escribir)

Explanation

Third person singular. "Usted" is you formal (it fall under 3rd person singular).

Submit
16. La familia abre la puerta café.

Explanation

The correct answer is "The family opens the brown door." This is because the sentence "La familia abre la puerta café" translates to "The family opens the brown door." The word "café" means "brown" in this context, not "coffee" as in the other options.

Submit
17. Los cristianos _______________ en Cristo. (creer)

Explanation

The correct answer is "creen". In Spanish, the verb "creer" means "to believe". The subject "los cristianos" is plural, so the correct conjugation of the verb in the present tense is "creen". This form matches with the subject and agrees in number.

Submit
18. Usted _______________ la puerta. (abrir)

Explanation

The correct answer is "abre". In Spanish, the verb "abrir" means "to open". The subject "usted" is the formal singular form of "you". When conjugating the verb for this subject, we use the third person singular form, which is "abre". Therefore, "abre" is the correct conjugation of "abrir" for the subject "usted" in this sentence.

Submit
19. Carmen y yo somos amigos y ________________ en la misma colonia. (vivir)

Explanation

The verb ends in "ir"; therefore, the corresponding "imos" ending to match the subject.

Submit
20. To conjugate a verb in Spanish you take off the ending, -ar, -er, -ir and you are left with the "thorn" of the verb.

Explanation

The statement in the question is incorrect. To conjugate a verb in Spanish, you take off the ending (-ar, -er, -ir) and add the appropriate ending based on the subject pronoun. The "thorn" of the verb is not mentioned or relevant in Spanish conjugation.

Submit
21. Tú eres mi mejor amigo. ___________________ mis cartas que te envio. (recibir)

Explanation

The correct answer is "recibes" because it agrees with the subject "tú" (you) and the verb "recibir" (to receive) in the present tense. In Spanish, the verb endings change depending on the subject, and "recibes" is the correct form for the subject "tú".

Submit
22. Jessica y Abel aprenden otra lengua.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Jessica and Abel learn another language." This answer accurately reflects the information given in the statement. It states that Jessica and Abel are learning a different language, which aligns with the phrase "aprenden otra lengua" in the original statement.

Submit
23. Notice that most of the present tense endings for -er and -ir verbs are the same. Only the nosotros and vosotros endings are different.

Explanation

The statement is true because most of the present tense endings for -er and -ir verbs are indeed the same. The only exceptions are the nosotros and vosotros endings, which are different.

Submit
24. An unchanged verb. In English it usually includes the word "to" – to be, to swim, to eat, to live, etc. In Spanish all infinitives end in either -ar, -er-, ir.

Explanation

The correct answer is "infinitive." An infinitive is an unchanged verb that usually includes the word "to" in English, such as "to be," "to swim," "to eat," "to live," etc. In Spanish, all infinitives end in either -ar, -er, or -ir.
