2. Present Tense: Juan ______________ en una oficina. TRABAJAR

Explanation

The correct answer is "trabaja" or "Trabaja" because it matches the subject "Juan" and the present tense of the verb "trabajar". In Spanish, the verb form must agree with the subject in terms of person and number. Since "Juan" is a singular third-person subject, the correct verb form is "trabaja" or "Trabaja".

Submit
3. Present Tense: ¿Quien _______________ la canal Discovery en la televisión? MIRAR

Explanation

The correct answer is "mira, Mira". In Spanish, the verb "mirar" means "to watch" or "to look". The question is asking "Who watches the Discovery channel on television?" The verb "mirar" needs to be conjugated to match the subject of the sentence, which is "quien" (who). In this case, the correct conjugation is "mira" for the third person singular and "Mira" for the second person singular. Therefore, the correct answer is "mira, Mira".

Submit
4. Irregular Present Tense:  Yo _________________ un auto nuevo. TENER

Explanation

The correct answer is "tengo". In this sentence, the subject "Yo" (meaning "I") is expressing possession of a new car. The verb "tener" means "to have" and in the present tense, it is conjugated as "tengo" for the subject "Yo".

Submit
5. Irregular Present Tense: Yo ______________ la mesa cada día para mi madre. PONER

Explanation

The correct answer is "pongo". In this sentence, the subject "Yo" (I) is performing the action of "poner" (to put). The verb "poner" is conjugated in the present tense to match the subject "Yo", resulting in "pongo". This sentence translates to "I put the table every day for my mother."

Submit
6. Irregular Present Tense: Mi padre me ____________ cinco dólares para mi cumpleaños. DAR (subject is NOT "Yo")

Explanation

The correct answer is "da". In the irregular present tense, the verb "dar" (to give) conjugates differently for the subject "él/ella" (he/she) and "usted" (you formal). In this case, the subject is not "yo" (I), so we use the conjugation "da" for "él/ella" and "usted". Therefore, the correct form of the verb "dar" in this sentence is "da".

Submit
7. Irregular Present Tense: ¿No sé donde _____________ los libros. ESTAR (don't put in any accents)

Explanation

The correct answer is "están". In the sentence, the verb "estar" is used to indicate the location of the books, and since "libros" is plural, the correct form of the verb should also be plural, which is "están".

Submit
8. Present Progressive: Yo estoy buscando mis libros.

Explanation

The correct answer is "I am looking for my books." This is because the present progressive tense "estoy buscando" in Spanish translates to "am looking for" in English. The other options do not accurately convey the ongoing action of looking for the books in the present.

Submit
9. Present Progressive: Vosotros estáis _____________ en mi restaurante favorito. COMER

Explanation

The correct answer is "comiendo." In Spanish, the present progressive tense is used to express an action that is currently happening. In this sentence, "vosotros estáis" indicates that the subject is "you all" and "comiendo" is the present participle form of the verb "comer" which means "to eat." Therefore, the correct answer translates to "you all are eating" in English.

Submit
10. Present Progressive: No sabes que tú ________________ haciendo. (don't use accents)

Explanation

The correct answer is "estas." In this sentence, the verb "estas" is the present progressive form of the verb "estar" (to be) in the second-person singular form. It is used to indicate an ongoing action in the present.

Submit
11. Present Tense: Mi madre ______________ la cena. COCINAR

Explanation

The correct answer is "cocina". The verb "cocina" is conjugated in the present tense for the subject "mi madre" (my mother). This form agrees with the third person singular pronoun "ella" (she), indicating that "mi madre" cooks the dinner.

Submit
12. Irregular Present Tense: ¿Cuando (tú) _____________ a la escuela? IR

Explanation

The correct answer is "vas". This is because "vas" is the conjugated form of the verb "ir" in the second person singular (tú) in the present tense. It means "you go" in English.

Submit
13. Present Progressive: Mi hijo está cocinando una paella valenciana. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "My son is cooking a paella valenciana." The verb "está cocinando" is in the present progressive tense, indicating an action that is currently happening. Therefore, the correct translation is "is cooking."

Submit
14. Present Progressive: We are writing a letter to Julio.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Estamos escribiendo una carta a Julio." This is the correct translation of "We are writing a letter to Julio" in the present progressive tense. The verb "estamos escribiendo" means "we are writing" and it agrees with the subject "we" (nosotros). "Una carta a Julio" means "a letter to Julio."

Submit
15. Irregular Present Tense: Mi computadora ___________ muy vieja. SER

Explanation

The correct answer is "es." In this sentence, we are talking about the subject "mi computadora" (my computer), and we want to describe its current state, which is being old. In Spanish, when describing characteristics or states of things, we use the verb "ser" (to be) in the present tense. The correct form of "ser" for the subject "mi computadora" is "es."

Submit
16. Present Progressive: What is the ER & IR ending for Present Progressive?

Explanation

The correct answer is "iendo". In Spanish, the present progressive tense is formed by combining the present tense of the verb "estar" (to be) with the gerund form of the main verb. The gerund form for verbs ending in -er and -ir is created by replacing the -er or -ir ending with -iendo. Therefore, "iendo" is the correct ending for present progressive verbs in the -er and -ir form.

Submit
17. Present Tense: Yo ____________ con mis amigos por teléfono. HABLAR

Explanation

The correct answer is "hablo". In present tense, when the subject is "yo" (I), the verb "hablar" needs to be conjugated to "hablo". This is because in Spanish, verbs have different endings depending on the subject. Therefore, "hablo" is the correct conjugation of "hablar" for the subject "yo".

Submit
18. Present Progressive: What is the AR ending for Present Progressive?

Explanation

The correct answer is "ando". In Spanish, the AR ending for Present Progressive is formed by adding the suffix "-ando" to the stem of the verb. This suffix is used for the first person singular and the third person singular forms of the verb. For example, the verb "hablar" (to speak) becomes "hablando" (speaking) in Present Progressive. Therefore, "ando" is the correct AR ending for Present Progressive.

Submit
19. Irregular Present Tense: Miguel ____________ que tiene que estudiar para las clase de historia. SABER

Explanation

The correct answer is "sabe". In this sentence, the verb "saber" is conjugated in the present tense, third person singular form. "Sabe" is the correct conjugation for the subject "Miguel". This means that Miguel knows or is aware that he has to study for the history class.

Submit
20. Present Tense: Vosotros ________________ en la ciudad de New York. VIVIR

Explanation

The correct answer is "vivís" because "vivís" is the present tense form of the verb "vivir" for the pronoun "vosotros," which is used in Spain to address a group of people. This form is used to indicate that the group "vosotros" is currently living in the city of New York.
