Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section, you are asked to fill in the blanks with the correct form of *querer*. The first bit of dialogue reads, “Hello, Carla. What _____ to do today?”
Step 2
2 of 3
Our speaker is addressing someone: Carla. Since it seems, from the conversation, like the speaker and Carla know each other, they will be using the informal *tú* form when addressing each other. This also makes sense grammatically here, since the ensuing sentence would read “what do you want to do today?”, which makes sense.

Exercise 2
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section, you are asked to fill in the blanks with the correct form of *querer*. The second bit of dialogue (Carla’s response) reads, “No idea. What do you _____ to do?”
Step 2
2 of 3
In Carla’s response, she is addressing the initial speaker. We can see, with the inclusion of *tú* at the end of the question, that she is using the pronoun *tú* to address them. This indicates that the *tú* form of *querer* will be used. Refer to the chart at the top of page 90 for the conjugations of *querer*.

Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section, you are asked to fill in the blanks with the correct form of *querer*. The third bit of dialogue (the initial speaker, again) reads, “Good, my family and I _____ to go to the movies”.
Step 2
2 of 3
In this bit of dialogue, the initial speaker is referring to a desire held by them and their family. From their perspective, this is expressed as “my family and I”, which can also be thought of as “we”. This means you will be using the *nosotros* form of *querer*.

Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section, you are asked to fill in the blanks with the correct form of *querer*. The fourth bit of dialogue (Carla, again) reads, “and your friend Paco doesn’t _____ to go to the movies with you all?”
Step 2
2 of 3
The subject of Carla’s question here is Paco, one of the initial speaker’s friends. Paco could be replaced with the pronoun *él*, so you will be using the “*él/ella/usted*” form of *querer*. Refer to the chart at the top of page 90 if you need a refresher on the conjugations of *querer*.

Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section, you are asked to fill in the blanks with the correct form of *querer*. The fifth bit of dialogue (the initial speaker, once again) reads, “No, Paco and some friends ______ to go shopping and…”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Here, the initial speaker is talking about Paco and some of their friends. This means that the subject of their sentence is “they” (*ellos*). This means you will use the agreeing form of *querer*, the third-person, plural form.

Exercise 6
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section, you are asked to fill in the blanks with the correct form of *querer*. The sixth bit of dialogue (the second half of the sentence) reads, “…and _____ to rent videos”.
Step 2
2 of 3
This is a continuation of the sentence that was started in the previous question. This means the the subject is the same as the previous question, “*ellos*”. Which, again, means you will use the third-person, plural form of *querer*.

Exercise 7
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section, you are asked to fill in the blanks with the correct form of *querer*. The seventh bit of dialogue reads, “and you? _______ to go to the movies with my family?”
Step 2
2 of 3
In this bit, the initial speaker is once again addressing Carla. They are asking her if she wants to go to the movies with their family. Earlier in this section, we established that when Carla and the other speaker address each other they would use the *tú* form. This is another instance when you will be using the *tú* form of *querer*.

Exercise 8
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section, you are asked to fill in the blanks with the correct form of *querer*. The eighth and final bit of dialogue (Carla) reads, “Yes, thank you. I _____ to see a movie with you all.”
Step 2
2 of 3
In this final bit, Carla is addressing the initial speaker once again. But be careful! The subject of her last sentence isn’t *tú*, it’s *yo*! She is saying “I want to see a movie”. This means you will use the *yo* form of *querer*.
