Question

Which pair of verbs correctly completes this sentence?

Answer 1

Ana y Marta SE VISTEN muy elegantes y SE MAQUILLAN para ir a la fiesta.

Answer 2

The correct verbs are:

se visten, se maquillan

These verbs in spanish are respectively translated to:

dress up, make up

This is a sentence written in simple present tense with the 3rd person in plural they, because Ana and Martha are the subject ellas (they).

Note in spanish the verbs must be conjugated according the subject of the sentence.

In this case, the verb vestir (to dress up) is translated to:

(Ellas) se visten

They dress up

And the verb maquillar (to make up) is translated to:

(Ellas) se maquillan

They make up (themselves)

Therefore the sentence is written as follows:

Ana y Marta se visten muy elegantes y se maquillan para ir a la fiesta

Ana and Marta dress up very elegant and make up to go to the party

The other options are incorrect, because:

- se despiertan, se duchan are translated to:

they wake up, they take a shower

- se peinan, se cepillan are translated to:

they comb their hair, they brush their teeth

- se preparan, se duchan are translated to:

they prepare, they take a shower

As we can observe, these verbs do not match with the context of the sentence
