Ella (almorzar) =
Explanation The correct answer is "almuerza" because the verb "almorzar" is conjugated for the third person singular form in the present tense.

Therefore, "almuerza" is the correct conjugation for "ella almuerza," meaning "she eats lunch."

Nosotros (poder) =
Explanation The correct answer is "podemos" because "nosotros" is the subject pronoun for "we" in Spanish, and the verb "poder" means "to be able to" or "can." When conjugating "poder" in the present tense for "nosotros," we add the ending "-emos" to the stem "pod-" to form "podemos." Therefore, "podemos" translates to "we can" or "we are able to."

Is poder an o-ue verb?
A.
True
B.
False
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation Poder is indeed an o-ue verb in Spanish. This means that in its present tense conjugation, the o in the stem changes to ue in all forms except for nosotros and vosotros. For example, the present tense conjugation of poder is yo puedo, tú puedes, él/ella/usted puede, nosotros/nosotras podemos, vosotros/vosotras podéis, and ellos/ellas/ustedes pueden. This change in vowel is a characteristic feature of o-ue stem-changing verbs in Spanish.

However, "Perder" does not follow this pattern. It is an e-ie verb, where the letter "e" in the stem changes to "ie" in certain conjugations. Therefore, the correct answer is false.
