Question

Read the following sentence, changing the verb from the present tense to the preterite tense. Put the preterite form of the verb in the answer blank. Yo le doy un lápiz a mi amigo. (3 points)

Answer 1

So it would be: Yo le di un lápiz a mi amigo.

Answer 2

Answer:  The correct answer is "Yo le di un lápiz a mi amigo".

Explanation: The verb in the sentence provided that has been conjugated in the present tense is "doy". The preterite form of the verb "doy" is "di" because "dar" (the infinitive form of this verb) is irregular. In that way, as the preterite form of most irregular verbs in Spanish ends in "i", such as "vi", the form that fills in the answer blank is "di".
