He doubts that we live
- A.
  
  Duda que vivir
- B.
  
  Duda que viva
- C.
  
  Duda que vivamos
- D.
  
  Duda que viváis
Correct Answer
C. Duda que vivamos

Explanation
The correct answer is "Duda que vivamos." This is because the verb "dudar" (to doubt) is followed by the conjunction "que" and requires the subjunctive mood in Spanish. In this case, the subject of the doubt is "we" (nosotros), so the correct form of the verb "vivir" (to live) in the subjunctive mood is "vivamos."

Decir, nosotros form
- A.
  
  Digemos
- B.
  
  Digamos
- C.
  
  Dice
- D.
  
  Digan
Correct Answer
B. Digamos

Explanation
The correct answer is "digamos." The verb "decir" means "to say" or "to tell" in Spanish. In the nosotros form, we use the stem "dig-" and add the ending "-amos." Therefore, "digamos" is the correct conjugation for "decir" in the nosotros form, meaning "let's say" or "we say."

  No creemos que juegue futbol bien

  No creemos que juege futbol bien
- C.
  
  No creemos que jugar futbol bien
- D.
  
  No creemos que juega futbol bien
Correct Answer
A. No creemos que juegue futbol bien

Explanation
The correct answer is "no creemos que juegue futbol bien". This is the correct translation of the given sentence "We don't believe that he plays football well" into Spanish. The verb "juegue" is the subjunctive form of the verb "jugar" (to play) which is used after "no creemos que" (we don't believe that). The word "bien" means "well" in English.

Acostar, tu form
- A.
  
  Acuestas
- B.
  
  Acueste
- C.
  
  Acuestes
- D.
  
  Acuestéis
Correct Answer
C. Acuestes

Explanation
The correct answer is "acuestes" because it is the correct tu form of the verb "acostar" in the present subjunctive tense. In Spanish, the tu form of verbs in the present subjunctive tense is formed by replacing the -ar ending of the infinitive with -es. Therefore, "acuestes" is the correct form for the subject "tu" (you) in this tense.

- C.
  
  Pienso que deber ir a la tienda
- D.
  
  Pienso que debemos ir a la tienda
Correct Answer
B. Pienso que debamos ir a la tienda

Explanation
The correct answer is "Pienso que debamos ir a la tienda". This is the correct translation of "I think we should go to the store" in Spanish. The verb "debamos" is the correct form of "deber" (should) in the first person plural, indicating that the speaker is including themselves in the suggestion.

"doubt that" brings on the subjunctive
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The phrase "doubt that" is a triggering phrase that introduces doubt or uncertainty. In English grammar, when we express doubt or uncertainty, we often use the subjunctive mood. The subjunctive mood is used to express hypothetical or unreal situations. Therefore, it is correct to say that "doubt that" brings on the subjunctive.

If the verb is a stem changer you MUST stem change in nosotros form.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
This statement is false. Stem-changing verbs do not always require a stem change in the nosotros form. Some stem-changing verbs only have a stem change in the present tense for certain subject pronouns, while others may have a stem change in other forms such as the yo or tú form. Stem changes are not mandatory in the nosotros form for all stem-changing verbs.

"I want" brings on the subjunctive.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement "I want" does not bring on the subjunctive. The subjunctive mood is used to express hypothetical or unreal situations, wishes, or suggestions. In this case, the phrase "I want" expresses a desire or a simple statement of preference, which does not require the subjunctive mood. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

10.

"ir" is irregular in subjunctive.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that "ir" is indeed irregular in the subjunctive mood. In Spanish, the subjunctive mood is used to express doubt, uncertainty, wishes, desires, and recommendations. Regular verbs in the subjunctive mood follow a specific pattern, but "ir" does not. Instead, it undergoes a stem change in the present subjunctive, where the "e" in the stem changes to "i." Therefore, "ir" is irregular in the subjunctive mood, making the answer true.

Ser, "ellos" form
- A.
  
  Son
- B.
  
  Sommes
- C.
  
  Sean
- D.
  
  Seas
Correct Answer
C. Sean

Explanation
The correct answer is "sean" because it is the correct form of the verb "ser" in the present subjunctive tense for the pronoun "ellos". In Spanish, the verb "ser" means "to be" and the present subjunctive tense is used to express doubt, uncertainty, or subjective opinion. The conjugation for "ellos" in the present subjunctive is "sean".

- B.
  
  Acuesten
- C.
  
  Acostan
- D.
  
  Acosta

Explanation
The correct answer is "acuesten" because when conjugating the verb "acostar" in the "ellas" form, we use the ending "-en". Therefore, "acuesten" is the correct form.

  Puedamos
- B.
  
  Puedemos
- C.
  
  Podemos
- D.
  
  Podamos
Correct Answer
D. Podamos

The correct answer is "podamos". In Spanish, the verb "poder" means "to be able to". When conjugating "poder" in the "nosotros" form, we use the ending "-amos". Therefore, the correct conjugation is "podamos".

Haber, "tu" form
- A.
  
  Hayes
- B.
  
  Habas
- C.
  
  Habes
- D.
  
  Hayas
Correct Answer
D. Hayas

Explanation
The correct answer is "hayas". In Spanish, the verb "haber" is irregular and is used to express the existence of something. In this case, we are looking for the "tu" form of the verb. The correct conjugation for "tu" is "hayas". The other options provided ("habas", "habes", "hayes") are not correct conjugations for this verb form.
