    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.

    A. Corremos
    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."

    Correct Answer
    A. Creen
    Explanation

    Usted _______________ la puerta. (abrir) - ProProfs

    Usted _______________ la puerta. (abrir)

    • Abren

    • Abre

    • Abres

    Correct Answer
    A. Abre
    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.
