1. "doubt that" brings on the subjunctive

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.

2. "ir" is irregular in subjunctive.

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.

Submit
3. Beber, "yo" form

Explanation

The correct answer is "beba" because when conjugating the verb "beber" in the "yo" form (I), the correct conjugation is "beba". The other options are not correct conjugations of the verb "beber" in the "yo" form.

Submit
4. Decir, nosotros form

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."

Submit
5. Ser, "ellos" form

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".

Submit
6. Acostar, tu form

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.

Submit
7. Acostar, "ellas" form

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.

Submit
8. He doubts that we live

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."

Submit
9. I think that we should go to the store.

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.

Submit
10. If the verb is a stem changer you MUST stem change in nosotros form.

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.

Submit
11. Haber, "tu" form

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.

Submit
12. Poder, "nosotros" form

Explanation

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".

Submit
13. We don't believe that he plays football well.

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.

Submit
14. "I want" brings on the subjunctive.

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.
