This is a quiz for practicing the past tense, using verbs that take the auxiliary verb 'essere'. You will be given a pronoun and a verb in the infinitive - your task is to write them correctly in the passato prossimo tense. Remember that for these verbs, the gender and number (plural, singular) of the past participle must match the subject. Example: io, uscire = io sono uscito ; lei, uscire = lei è uscita noi, uscire = noi abbiamo usciti

Questions and Answers

In this case, the past participle of "sembrare" is "sembrato." Therefore, "tu sei sembrato" translates to "you seemed" or "you resembled."

Anna, riuscire (to succeed, manage, be good at)

"Sono" is the auxiliary verb "essere" (to be) conjugated in the present tense for "loro," and "ritornati" is the past participle of "ritornare" that agrees in gender and number with "loro." Therefore, "loro sono ritornati" translates to "they have returned."

Io e Laura, arrivare (to arrive)

Explanation
The correct answer is "io e Laura siamo arrivati, noi siamo arrivati."
