We love her a lot.
- A.
Nos ama mucho.
- B.
La aman mucho.
- C.
La amo mucho.
- D.
Nos aman mucho.
- E.
La amamos mucho.
Correct Answer
E. La amamos mucho.Explanation
The correct answer is "La amamos mucho." This is because the subject "we" is represented by the pronoun "nosotros" in Spanish, and the verb "amar" (to love) should be conjugated accordingly. In this case, "amar" is conjugated in the first person plural form, which is "amamos". The pronoun "la" is used to refer to the person being loved, which indicates that the subject (we) loves her. Therefore, "La amamos mucho" translates to "We love her a lot."Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. SaqueExplanation
In this sentence, "Mis padres esperan que yo saque buenas notas en todas mis clases," the verb "esperan" (they hope) is in the present tense, so we need to use the present subjunctive form of the verb "sacar" (to get). The correct form is "saque" because it matches the subject "yo" (I) and agrees with the third person singular form of the verb.Rate this question:
