1. Fill in the blank.    You asked for- Tú _______.

Explanation

The correct answer is "pediste" because it is the second person singular preterite form of the verb "pedir" in Spanish. In this sentence, "tú" is the subject and "pediste" is the past tense form of "pedir," which means "to ask for" or "to request." Therefore, the sentence translates to "You asked for."

The word "pido" is correctly conjugated in both the simple present and preterite tenses. It is the first-person singular form of the verb "pedir" (to ask for) in both tenses.

Explanation

The correct answer is Freír, Pedir, and Servir. These are e-i stem changing verbs because they undergo a vowel change in the stem when conjugated. In the present tense, the e in the stem changes to i in all forms except for nosotros and vosotros. Tener and Preferir are not e-i stem changing verbs, as they do not undergo this vowel change in the present tense conjugation.
