Questions and Answers

1.

Tu no sales la mesa a menos de que ______ tu aqua.
- A.
  
  Bebes
- B.
  
  Bebas
- C.
  
  Beben
Correct Answer
B. Bebas

Explanation
The correct answer is "bebas". This is because the sentence is in the subjunctive mood, which is used to express doubt, uncertainty, or a hypothetical situation. In this case, the phrase "a menos de que" indicates a condition that must be met in order for the action to occur. The verb "bebas" is the subjunctive form of the verb "beber" (to drink) in the second person singular, which matches the subject "tu" (you). Therefore, the correct translation of the sentence is "You don't leave the table unless you drink your water."

Bebe tu aqua para _____ la mesa
- A.
  
  Salir
- B.
  
  Salgas
- C.
  
  Salires
Correct Answer
A. Salir

Explanation
The correct answer is "salir." This is because "salir" is the correct conjugation of the verb "salir" in the imperative form for the second person singular. In this context, it means "to leave" or "to go out." Therefore, the sentence translates to "Drink your water to leave the table."

3.

Cuando ______, tendré miedo.
- A.
  
  Salgas
- B.
  
  Saldré
- C.
  
  Sales
Correct Answer
A. Salgas

Explanation
Cuando salgas, tendré miedo. (When you leave, I will be scared.)

The correct answer is "salgas" because it is the present subjunctive form of the verb "salir" (to leave) in the second person singular. In this sentence, "cuando" (when) introduces a subordinate clause that expresses a hypothetical or uncertain situation. The use of the present subjunctive indicates that the action of leaving is uncertain or has not yet occurred, which is why the speaker expresses fear in the future tense ("tendré miedo").

- A.
  
  Rompé
- B.
  
  Rompe
- C.
  
  Rompa
Correct Answer
C. Rompa

Explanation
The correct answer is "rompa". In this sentence, the verb "rompa" is in the subjunctive form. The phrase "En caso de que" introduces a hypothetical situation, indicating that there is a possibility of something breaking. Therefore, the correct verb form to use is the present subjunctive "rompa".
