Explanation
The correct answer is "dejamos". In Spanish, the preterit tense is used to talk about completed actions in the past. The verb "dejar" means "to leave" or "to let". In this case, the subject is "nosotros" which means "we". So, "dejamos" is the correct conjugation of the verb "dejar" in the preterit tense for the subject "we".Rate this question:
- 4.
Preterit of Regular Verbs: Venderel/ella/Ud.__________
Explanation
The correct answer is "vendió". In Spanish, the preterite tense is used to talk about completed actions in the past. Regular verbs in the preterite tense follow a specific pattern of conjugation. The verb "vender" (to sell) is a regular -er verb, so in the third person singular form (él/ella/Ud.), the ending "-ió" is added to the verb stem "vend-". Therefore, the correct conjugation is "vendió". "Vendio" is incorrect because it does not follow the correct conjugation pattern.Rate this question:
- 5.
Preterit of Stem Changing Verbs: Dormirellos/ellas/Uds.________
Explanation
The preterit of the stem-changing verb "dormir" for the third-person plural (ellos/ellas/Uds.) is "durmieron." In the preterit tense, stem-changing verbs undergo a change in the stem vowel in all forms except for nosotros and vosotros. In this case, the stem vowel "o" in "dormir" changes to "u" in the third-person plural form. Therefore, "durmieron" is the correct conjugation for "they/you all slept."Rate this question:
- 6.
Preterit of Stem Changing Verbs: Pedirel/ella/Ud.___________
Explanation
The correct answer is "pidió". In the preterit tense of stem-changing verbs, the stem vowel changes in the third person singular (él/ella/Ud.). In this case, the stem-changing verb is "pedir" (to ask/request), and the stem vowel "e" changes to "i" in the third person singular. Therefore, the correct form is "pidió". "Pidio" is incorrect because it does not reflect the stem vowel change.Rate this question:
- 7.
Preterit of Stem Changing Verbs: Mentiryo__________
Explanation
The correct answer is "mentí". In the preterit tense of stem-changing verbs, the stem vowel changes in the third person singular and plural forms (él/ella/usted and ellos/ellas/ustedes). However, in the first person singular form (yo), the stem vowel remains the same. Therefore, "mentí" is the correct form for the first person singular form of the verb "mentir" in the preterit tense. "Menti" is not a valid form in this context.Rate this question:
- 8.
Reflexive Pronouns (include a comma after each)Yo_____Tu______El/ella/Ud________Nosotros______
Explanation
The given answer lists the reflexive pronouns in Spanish, which are "me, te, se, nos". Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence refer to the same person or thing. "Me" is used for the first person singular (yo), "te" for the second person singular (tú), "se" for the third person singular (él/ella/usted), and "nos" for the first person plural (nosotros).Rate this question:
- 9.
Reflexive verbs: Levantarseyo____ __________

- 10.
Reflexive Verbs: Maquillarsetú______ ___________
Explanation
The correct answer is "te maquillas." In reflexive verbs, the subject and the object of the verb refer to the same person or thing. In this case, the subject is "tú" (you) and the verb is "maquillar" (to put on makeup). The reflexive pronoun "te" is used to indicate that the action of putting on makeup is being done by the subject (you) to themselves. Therefore, "te maquillas" means "you put on makeup (to yourself)."Rate this question:
- 11.
Reflexive Verbs: Vestirseel/ella/ud______ __________
Explanation
The correct answer is "se viste". In reflexive verbs, the subject and the object of the verb are the same person or thing. In this case, the subject is "él/ella/usted" (he/she/you formal) and the reflexive pronoun "se" is used before the verb "vestir" (to dress). Therefore, "se viste" means "he/she/you formal dresses".Rate this question:
