Yo ________ (hacer) mucho en la clase de español.
Correct Answer
hago, HagoExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Elena y yo no ________ (leer) los libros.
Correct Answer
leemos, LeemosExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Pedro ________ (compartir) las papas fritas.
Correct Answer
comparte, ComparteExplanation
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."Rate this question:
