In this exercise, you need to complete the sentence with the correct verb and then change the sentence to describe the situation at your school.

The example model reads:

*Sometimes Luis is bored in maths class.*
*I am hardly ever bored during classes.*

The sentence reads:

*Many students ____ a fear of English exams.*

We are given three different verbs to choose between to complete the sentence: *estar (be), sentirse (to feel)*, and *tener (to have).*

In this context, *tener* makes the most sense. “Many students **have** a fear of English exams.”

Now we need to conjugate *tener* in the correct present-tense form. Since the subject is *many students*, we will use the third-person plural form of *tener*, which is “tienen”.

Note that “tener” has an **e –> ie** stem change in this form.

Here are some time expressions you may want to use to describe the situation at your school:

*siempre (always)*

*jamás/nunca (never)*

*a veces (sometimes)*

*a menudo (often)*

*casi nunca (hardly ever)*

In this exercise, you need to complete the sentence with the correct verb and then change the sentence to describe the situation at your school.

The example model reads:

The sentence reads:

*Joaquín and Mateo _____ nervous when taking an exam.*

We are given three different verbs to choose between to complete the sentence: *estar (be), sentirse (to feel)*, and *tener (to have).*

In this context, both *estar* and *sentirse* fit well.

“Joaquín and Mateo **are/feel** nervous when…”

Now we need to conjugate the chosen verb in the correct present-tense form. Since the subject is *Joaquín y Mateo*, we will use the third-person plural form of the verb. For *estar*, that is “están”, and for *sentirse*, it’s “se s**ie**nten”.

Note that “sentirse” has an **e –> ie** stem change in this form.

Now we need to conjugate *tener* in the correct present-tense form. Since the subject is *I*, we will use the first-person singular form of *tener*, which is “ten**g**o”.

Note that “tener” has a “**g**” at the end of the verb stem in this form.
