2.
He doubts that we live
Correct Answer
C. Duda que vivamos
Explanation
The correct answer is "Duda que vivamos." This is because the verb "dudar" (to doubt) is followed by the conjunction "que" and requires the subjunctive mood in Spanish. In this case, the subject of the doubt is "we" (nosotros), so the correct form of the verb "vivir" (to live) in the subjunctive mood is "vivamos."
3.
Decir, nosotros form
Correct Answer
B. Digamos
Explanation
The correct answer is "digamos." The verb "decir" means "to say" or "to tell" in Spanish. In the nosotros form, we use the stem "dig-" and add the ending "-amos." Therefore, "digamos" is the correct conjugation for "decir" in the nosotros form, meaning "let's say" or "we say."
4.
We don't believe that he plays football well.
Correct Answer
A. No creemos que juegue futbol bien
Explanation
The correct answer is "no creemos que juegue futbol bien". This is the correct translation of the given sentence "We don't believe that he plays football well" into Spanish. The verb "juegue" is the subjunctive form of the verb "jugar" (to play) which is used after "no creemos que" (we don't believe that). The word "bien" means "well" in English.
5.
Acostar, tu form
Correct Answer
C. Acuestes
Explanation
The correct answer is "acuestes" because it is the correct tu form of the verb "acostar" in the present subjunctive tense. In Spanish, the tu form of verbs in the present subjunctive tense is formed by replacing the -ar ending of the infinitive with -es. Therefore, "acuestes" is the correct form for the subject "tu" (you) in this tense.
6.

Correct Answer
B. Pienso que debamos ir a la tienda
Explanation
The correct answer is "Pienso que debamos ir a la tienda". This is the correct translation of "I think we should go to the store" in Spanish. The verb "debamos" is the correct form of "deber" (should) in the first person plural, indicating that the speaker is including themselves in the suggestion.
7.
"doubt that" brings on the subjunctive
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The phrase "doubt that" is a triggering phrase that introduces doubt or uncertainty. In English grammar, when we express doubt or uncertainty, we often use the subjunctive mood. The subjunctive mood is used to express hypothetical or unreal situations. Therefore, it is correct to say that "doubt that" brings on the subjunctive.
8.
If the verb is a stem changer you MUST stem change in nosotros form.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
This statement is false. Stem-changing verbs do not always require a stem change in the nosotros form. Some stem-changing verbs only have a stem change in the present tense for certain subject pronouns, while others may have a stem change in other forms such as the yo or tú form. Stem changes are not mandatory in the nosotros form for all stem-changing verbs.
9.
"I want" brings on the subjunctive.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
The statement "I want" does not bring on the subjunctive. The subjunctive mood is used to express hypothetical or unreal situations, wishes, or suggestions. In this case, the phrase "I want" expresses a desire or a simple statement of preference, which does not require the subjunctive mood. Therefore, the correct answer is false.
10.
"ir" is irregular in subjunctive.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that "ir" is indeed irregular in the subjunctive mood. In Spanish, the subjunctive mood is used to express doubt, uncertainty, wishes, desires, and recommendations. Regular verbs in the subjunctive mood follow a specific pattern, but "ir" does not. Instead, it undergoes a stem change in the present subjunctive, where the "e" in the stem changes to "i." Therefore, "ir" is irregular in the subjunctive mood, making the answer true.
11.
Ser, "ellos" form
Correct Answer
C. Sean
Explanation
The correct answer is "sean" because it is the correct form of the verb "ser" in the present subjunctive tense for the pronoun "ellos". In Spanish, the verb "ser" means "to be" and the present subjunctive tense is used to express doubt, uncertainty, or subjective opinion. The conjugation for "ellos" in the present subjunctive is "sean".
12.
Acostar, "ellas" form
Correct Answer
B. Acuesten
Explanation
The correct answer is "acuesten" because when conjugating the verb "acostar" in the "ellas" form, we use the ending "-en". Therefore, "acuesten" is the correct form.
13.
Poder, "nosotros" form
Correct Answer
D. Podamos
Explanation
The correct answer is "podamos". In Spanish, the verb "poder" means "to be able to". When conjugating "poder" in the "nosotros" form, we use the ending "-amos". Therefore, the correct conjugation is "podamos".
14.
Haber, "tu" form
Correct Answer
D. Hayas
Explanation
The correct answer is "hayas". In Spanish, the verb "haber" is irregular and is used to express the existence of something. In this case, we are looking for the "tu" form of the verb. The correct conjugation for "tu" is "hayas". The other options provided ("habas", "habes", "hayes") are not correct conjugations for this verb form.
