Explanation

The correct answer is "como" because it is the first person singular form of the verb "comer" which means "to eat" in Spanish. The verb form "como" agrees with the subject "Yo" which also means "I" in English. Therefore, the sentence "Yo como ensalada" translates to "I eat salad" in English.

2. Carlos y yo _____ (comer) mucho en el desayuno. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "comemos, Comemos." This is because the subject of the sentence is "Carlos y yo" which is a plural subject, so the verb "comer" needs to be conjugated in the plural form "comemos" to match. Additionally, "Comemos" is capitalized because it is the first word of the sentence.

Submit
3. Carla y Elena ____________________ ensalada.

Explanation

Carla y Elena eat salad.

Submit
4. Elena y yo no _____ (leer) los libros.

Explanation

The correct answer is "leemos, Leemos." In Spanish, the verb "leer" means "to read." The subject of the sentence is "Elena y yo," which is the first person plural form. Therefore, the correct conjugation of "leer" in the present tense is "leemos." Additionally, since "Elena y yo" is the subject, the pronoun "nosotros" is implied, so the capitalized form "Leemos" is also correct.

Submit
5. Tú ____ en los Estados Unidos.

Explanation

The correct answer is "vives" because the verb "vivir" is conjugated in the second person singular form. This form is used when referring to "tú" (you) in the present tense. Therefore, "Tú vives en los Estados Unidos" translates to "You live in the United States."

Submit
6. Pedro _____ (compartir) las papas fritas.

Explanation

The correct answer is "comparte, Comparte." In Spanish, the verb "compartir" means "to share." The subject of the sentence is Pedro, which is a singular third-person pronoun. In Spanish, when referring to a singular third-person subject, we use the verb form "comparte" to match the subject. The second option, "Comparte," is the correct form to use when addressing someone informally, which is appropriate in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is "comparte, Comparte," meaning "Pedro shares."

Submit
7. La persona ____ la puerta.

Explanation

The correct answer is "abre" because it matches the subject "la persona" in the third person singular form. "Abre" is the present tense conjugation of the verb "abrir" for this subject.

Submit
8. ¿_____ tú (ver) la tele mucho?

Explanation

The question is asking if the person watches a lot of television. The correct answer is "ves, Ves," which means "you watch, You watch." This response indicates that the person does indeed watch a lot of television.

Submit
9. Tú _______________________ cuentos.

Explanation

The correct answer is "escribes." The verb "escribes" is the second person singular form of the verb "escribir," which means "to write" in Spanish. Therefore, the sentence translates to "You write stories."

Submit
10. El chico ___ un libro.

Explanation

In Spanish, the verb "leer" means "to read". The subject of the sentence is "el chico" which means "the boy". When conjugating the verb "leer" for the third person singular (he/she/it), we use the form "lee". Therefore, the correct answer is "lee" which translates to "reads" in English.

Submit
11. Marta y él no __________________________ libros en español.

Explanation

Marta y él leen libros en español.

Submit
12. La. Srta. Pérez _______________________ en la pizarra.

Explanation

The correct answer is "escribe". The phrase "en la pizarra" indicates that the action being performed is related to writing on the blackboard. "Escribe" is the conjugated form of the verb "escribir", which means "to write" in Spanish. Therefore, the most appropriate option is "escribe" as it matches the context of the sentence.

Submit
13. Pedro y yo __________________________ las revistas.

Explanation

The correct answer is "leemos" because it is the only option that makes sense in the context of the sentence. "Pedro y yo" means "Pedro and I" and "las revistas" means "the magazines." Therefore, the most logical option is "leemos," which means "we read."

Submit
14. Nosotros _________ en los papeles.

Explanation

The correct answer is "escribimos" because it matches the subject "nosotros," which is the first-person plural form. The verb "escribir" means "to write," and when conjugated in the first-person plural form, it becomes "escribimos." This form is used when the speaker includes themselves and others in the action of writing.

Submit
15. Yo _____ (hacer) mucho en la clase de español.

Explanation

The correct answer is "hago, Hago." The verb "hacer" means "to do" or "to make" in Spanish. The sentence is saying "I do a lot in Spanish class." The verb "hago" is the correct conjugation for the pronoun "yo" (I). The capitalized "Hago" is also correct because it is the first word of the sentence and in Spanish, the first word of a sentence is always capitalized.
