Exercise 8
Step 1
1 of 7
In this exercise we must conjugate the verb *traer (bring)* in the preterite tense for each case.

In addition, we must match each completed sentence with the sentences in the box to the right. For this, we will make sure that the subjects coincide and that the sentences are coherent with each other.

Step 2
2 of 7
1. This sentence reads: Martin don’t _____ his umbrella.

Remember that the verb *traer* is irregular in the past tense. For the third person singular the preterite tense is: **trajo**.

In the box, the sentence that matches this is option **(c)**. The subject agrees and is a consequence of the above: if Martin did not bring his umbrella, he could not arrive dry.

| Spanish|English |
|–|–|
|MartĂ­n no trajo su paraguas. | MartĂ­n did not bring his umbrella.|

Step 3

2. This sentence reads: We don’t ____ the brush.

For the first person plural, the past tense of *traer* is **trajimos**.

The sentence in the box that matches is option **(a)** because it is the only one in which the subject matches and makes sense with the next sentence.

| Spanish| English|
|–|–|
| Nosotras no trajimos el cepillo. | We did not bring the brush.

Step 4

3. This sentence reads: You don’t ________ your contact lenses.

For the second person singular, the preteite tense of *traer* is **trajiste**.

The sentence of the box that corresponds to it is **(f)** for the agreement with the subject and the context.

| Spanish| English|
|–|–|
|TĂş no trajiste tus lentes de contacto. | You did not bring your contact lenses.|

Step 5
5 of 7
4. This sentence reads: Luis and Carlos don’t _____ their cell phones.

In this case, as we have the third person plural, the preterite tense of *traer* is **trajeron**.

If we see among the sentences in the box that remain, the only one in which the subject matches is **(e)**. Also, it makes sense that if they left their cell phones, they couldn’t call their friends.

|Spanish |English |
|–|–|
| Luis y Carlos no trajeron sus teléfonos celulares. | Luis and Carlos did not bring their cell phones.|

Step 6
