Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 4
In this section, you are asked to use the appropriate form of *querer*, and phrases in the box, to write sentences about what the various subjects want to do over the weekend, based on things they enjoy. The example reads, “my friends like television. They want to watch television.”

The first sentence reads, “my friends like Chinese food”.

Step 2
2 of 4
The subject of the given sentence (and yours as well) is “my friends” (“they”). Since the subject will stay the same between the given sentence and yours, you will use the “they” form of *querer* (*”quieren*”).
Step 3
3 of 4
The obvious option in the box that makes sense to use to complete your sentence is “to eat Chinese food”. Simply keep the option as it’s written and place it after *quieren*.
Result
4 of 4
Quieren comer comida china.
Exercise 2
Step 1
1 of 4
In this section, you are asked to use the appropriate form of *querer*, and phrases in the box, to write sentences about what the various subjects want to do over the weekend, based on things they enjoy. The example reads, “my friends like television. They want to watch television.”

The second sentence reads, “you like sports”.

Step 2
2 of 4
The subject of the given sentence is clearly *tú*, given that *”a ti”* is used to clarify this. Make sure your sentence subject agrees with that of the given sentence by using the *tú* form of *querer*, *quieres*.
Step 3
3 of 4
Since the subject of the sentence likes sports, we’ll need an option from the box that relates to sports. While technically two of these options could work, the best option appears to be “to play tennis”.
Result

Quieres jugar al tenis.
Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 4
In this section, you are asked to use the appropriate form of *querer*, and phrases in the box, to write sentences about what the various subjects want to do over the weekend, based on things they enjoy. The example reads, “my friends like television. They want to watch television.”

The third sentence reads, “my best friend likes Italian food”.

Step 2
2 of 4
The subject of the given sentence is “my best friend”. Since “best friend” is written in the masculine form, we know that the subject pronoun that could be used in this case is *él*. This means when you write your sentence, you will be using the *él* form of *querer*, *quiere*.
Step 3
3 of 4
There is only one option in the box that makes sense given the fact that our subject likes Italian food. That option is the one involving an Italian staple: pizza!
Result
4 of 4
Quiere comer pizza.
Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 4
In this section, you are asked to use the appropriate form of *querer*, and phrases in the box, to write sentences about what the various subjects want to do over the weekend, based on things they enjoy. The example reads, “my friends like television. They want to watch television.”

The fourth sentence reads, “I like novels”.

Step 2
2 of 4
The subject of the given sentence (and the one you will write) is *yo*. This is made apparent both by the form of *gustar*, and the clarifying “*a mí*”.
The *yo* form of *querer* is *quiero*, which is what you will use to complete your sentence.
Step 3
3 of 4
“To read” is the best option in the box, considering that the subject of the sentence likes novels. Place this infinitive after the *yo* form of *quiero* to complete your sentence.
Result
4 of 4
Quiero leer.
Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 4
In this section, you are asked to use the appropriate form of *querer*, and phrases in the box, to write sentences about what the various subjects want to do over the weekend, based on things they enjoy. The example reads, “my friends like television. They want to watch television.”

The fifth sentence reads, “we like board games”.

Step 2
2 of 4
The subject of the given sentence is made apparent both in the form of *gustar* and the clarifying *”a nosotros”* that precedes it. Make sure your sentence subject agrees by using the *nosotros* form of *querer*, *queremos*.
Step 3
3 of 4
Since the subjects (we) enjoy board games, find something in the box that relates to board games. The one option that makes any sense is “to play chess”. To create your sentence, precede this with “*queremos*”.
Result
4 of 4
Queremos jugar al ajedrez.
Exercise 6
Step 1
1 of 4
In this section, you are asked to use the appropriate form of *querer*, and phrases in the box, to write sentences about what the various subjects want to do over the weekend, based on things they enjoy. The example reads, “my friends like television. They want to watch television.”

The sixth and final sentence reads, “my friend likes movies”.

Step 2
2 of 4
The subject of our sentence is “my friend”, written in the feminine form. “My friend” would use the pronoun “*ella*”, so you will use the *ella* form of *querer* (which is *quiere*) in your sentence.
Step 3
3 of 4
Since she (our subject) likes movies, we need an option from the box that relates to watching movies. There are really two options that could work, but the MOST logical is “to rent videos”. Precede this with *quiere* and you have your sentence.
Result
4 of 4
Quiere alquilar videos.
