In this section, you are asked to complete each sentence using the correct conjugation of the given verb.
The first sentence reads, “On Saturdays, I ________ the time with friends”.

The two options you are given are the first-person, singular form and the second-person singular form. You know this from the chart just above this section, on page 98. The ending “-o” indicates the *yo* form and the ending “-as” indicates the *tú* form.

We know that the subject of our sentence is “I” from the inclusion of “*yo*” as the only subject pronoun present. Since the subject is *”yo*”, our verb will be conjugated in the *”yo”* form as well.

In this section, you are asked to complete each sentence using the correct conjugation of the given verb.
The second sentence reads, “we ______ sports”.

The two options you are given are the second-person, singular form and the first-person, plural form. We know this due to the endings of the verbs, and thanks to the chart above this exercise. You’ve learned that “-as” indicates the “*tú*” form, and “-amos” indicates the “*nosotros* form.

We know that the subject of our sentence is “*nosotros*” as that is the only subject present and it falls before the conjugated verb. This means you will use the *”nosotros*” form of *practicar*.

practicamos

In this section, you are asked to complete each sentence using the correct conjugation of the given verb.
The third sentence reads, “Javi ____ in the pool”.

The two options you are given are the third-person, plural form and the third-person, singular form. You learned, from the chart at the top of page 98, that “-an” indicates the “*ellos, ellas, ustedes*” form of a verb, and that “-a” indicates the “*él, ella, usted”* form of a verb.

We know that the subject of our sentence is Javi, since his name occurs right before the conjugated verb and is the only subject name or pronoun in the sentence. Since Javi could also be thought of as “he”, we know that we’ll be using the singular “*él*” form of our verb, not the plural form.

nada

In this section, you are asked to complete each sentence using the correct conjugation of the given verb.
The fourth sentence reads, “sometimes we _______ bicycles”.

The two options you are given are the second-person, singular form of the verb and the first-person, plural form of the verb. You learned just prior to this exercise that the ending “-as” indicates the *tú* form, while the ending “-amos” indicates the *nosotros* form.

We know that the subject of the sentence is “we” due to the inclusion of “*nosotros”* immediately before the conjugated verb. Since the subject is “we”, the verb will have to be in the “*nosotros”* form.

montamos

In this section, you are asked to complete each sentence using the correct conjugation of the given verb.
The fifth sentence reads, “I _______ in the park with my friend José”.

The two options you are given are the third-person, plural form of the verb and the first-person, singular form. You know this from the chart on page 98, where you learned that the “-an” ending is indicative of the *él, ella, usted* conjugation and the “-o” ending is indicative of the *yo* conjugation.

Don’t get confused by this sentence. While the speaker is saying they skate with their friend, the subject of our sentence is still just the speaker. They are saying “I skate with Jose”, not “Jose and I skate”. The *yo* form is the correct choice here.

patino

In this section, you are asked to complete each sentence using the correct conjugation of the given verb.
The sixth sentence reads, “Maribel and Florencia _________ with us”.

The two options you are given are the third-person, plural form of the verb *patinar*, and the second-person, singular form. You learned from the above grammar section that the “-an” ending is indicative of the “*ellos, ellas, ustedes”* conjugation, while the “-as” ending is indicative of the “*tú”* conjugation.

We know that the subjects of the sentence are Maribel and Florencia, since they immediately precede the conjugated verb. Don’t be confused by the inclusion of “with us”. Think of this is an additional description of HOW Maribel and Florence skate. The sentence is still overwhelmingly about Florence and Maribel (*ellas*) skating.

patinan

In this section, you are asked to complete each sentence using the correct conjugation of the given verb.
The seventh and final sentence reads, “and you, how do ________ the time with friends?”

The two options you are given are the second person, singular form of the verb *pasar*, and the third-person, singular form. You’ve learned that the ending “-as” is indicative of the *tú* conjugation, while “-a” ending is indicative of the “*él, ella, usted*” conjugation.

Because the question begins with “*y tú”, we know the subject of the question is *tú*. This means that, in order to ensure agreement between the subject and the verb, we must complete the sentence with the *tú* form of *pasar*.
