- All but Él and Ellos

Correct Answer

A. Only Él and Ellos

Explanation

In the preterite, e-i verbs undergo a stem change in all forms except for nosotros. However, in the case of the verb mentioned in the question, the stem change only occurs in the third person singular (él) and plural (ellos) forms. This means that in all other forms (yo, tú, nosotros, vosotros), the verb remains unchanged.

These are conjugations in the simple present AND preterite. Choose which one is NOT conjugated wrong.
- Frio
- Servió
- Servo
- Repeto
- Pido
Correct Answer

A. Pido

Explanation

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. The other verbs in the list, "frio," "servió," "servo," and "repeto," are either misspelled or conjugated incorrectly in one or both tenses.

Which are e-i stem changing verbs? ( Click all that pertain)
- Preferir
- Freír
- Pedir
- Tener
- Servir
Correct Answer(s)

A. Freír
A. Pedir
A. Servir

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.
