Carlos y yo ________ (comer) mucho en el desayuno.
Correct Answer
comemos, ComemosExplanation
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.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:
