Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 3
In this task, we need to indicate the word from a.-d. that suits the best to complete the sentence.
Step 2
2 of 3
Let’s look at the first example.
From the context, we will choose “calcio” because in the sentence we have mentioned “queso y leche” that we know contain calcium.

For the second sentence, we will choose “tengo fiebre” because when being “enfermo” (sick) we have a fever (fiebre).

In the third example, we will choose “un jarabe” (syrup) since it is prescribed when having a cough (tos).

For the fourth sentence, we will choose “estirar los músculos” to prevent “los calambres” (the cramps).

In the fifth example, we have “yoga” mentioned, therefore we will choose “estás estresado” because we know yoga is relaxing.

For the sixth example, we will clearly choose “me duele el pecho” (my chest hurts) since other words given don’t make sense.

In the seventh sentence, we have “fiebre” (fiver) therefore, we will choose “tengo 39 centígrados” indicating high temperature/fiver.

And lastly, for the eighth example, we will choose “estás muy estresado” because from all the word given this one is in the negative sense just like the expression “No aguanto más” (I can’t take it anymore).

Exercise 2
Step 1
1 of 6
In this task, we need to indicate the verb form from a.-d. that suits the best to complete the sentence.
Step 2
2 of 6
In this task, we will review the uses of informal (tú) and formal commands (Ud., Uds) and the use of the subjunctive.
Step 3
3 of 6
To form affirmative informal command use the third person singular indicative present form.
To form the negative informal command use the second person singular subjunctive form of the verb.

To form formal command for regular verbs follow these steps:

1.Conjugate the verb in the first person singular present form
2.Remove “o” ending
3.Add “-e/-en” for “-ar” ending verbs or “-a/-an” for “-er” and “-ir” ending verbs
For formal commands affirmation and negation are formed the same way, for negation just simply add “no” before the verb.

Step 4
4 of 6
The subjunctive is used with words like “ojalá”, “quizá”, after “que”, indicating a wish for something to happen or uncertainty that it is going to happen. Some other uses of the subjunctive are with emotions and feelings, wishes, doubt, hypothesis, etc.
Step 5
5 of 6
Now let’s look at the first example.

The subject is Jorge, meaning informal command. Since we have “no” we will use the negative informal command of the verb “ir” in the second person singular form (vayas).

In the second example, we have “Sra.” indicating formal (Ud.) command of the verb “poner” (ponga).

In the third example, the subject is “yo”. We have “aconseja que”, meaning we will use the subjunctive form first person singular of the verb “mantener” (mantenga).
For the fourth example, since we don’t have indicated “usted o Ustedes” we will use the informal (tú) command of the verb “salir” (sal).

In the fifth example, the subject is “ustedes”. We have “importante que”, meaning we will use the subjunctive form third person plural of the verb “estar” (estén).

For the sixth example, since we have “tomen” in the first sentence, a formal Uds, command, for the second one we will also use “tomen”+ “las” indicating “las vitamins”.

In the seventh example we have “niños” as a subject, therefore we will use negative Uds. command of the verb “traer” (no traigan).

And lastly, for the eight example, the subject is “tú” (you). We have “quiero que” meaning we will use the subjunctive form second person singular of the verb “explicar” (expliques).

Querido Chico Cansado:

Tengo algunas sugerencias para ti. Como estás cansado todo el tiempo te recomiendo que duermas más. Es importante que descanses bien. En cuanto a tu mal humor, te sugiero que medites por la mañana y practiques un deporte que te guste por la tarde. No hay que olvidar que es bueno que te rodees de gente que te cae bien.

Mucha suerte.
