Question 1 (1 point) Question 1 Unsaved

Answer 1

1. Right answer:

2) cantar

Cantar is a regular verb, accordingly this isn't an irregular one. In fact, In the imperfect tense, there are only three verbs with irregular conjugations, namely: ir, ser, and ver. Since cantar is an ar verb, if you want to conjugate a regular verb in the imperfect tense in Spanish, you need to remove the infinitive ending ar and add the imperfect ending that matches the subject. So, for each person the endings are as follows:  

Yo - aba

Tú - abas

Él/ella/usted - aba

Nosotros - ábamos

Vosotros - abais

Ellos/ellas/ustedes - aban

2. Right answer:

2) chango

Another word for mono is chango. Both words mean the same word in English monkey. This is an animal with a long tail that climbs trees and uses its hands in the same way that people do. Both words are masculine singular nouns. A noun is a word or group of words that is the name of a person, a place, a thing, or activity or a quality or idea.

3. Right answer:

1) era

Era is the conjugation of the verb ser for the third person singular in the imperfect tense. In general, the imperfect is used to talk about past actions, conditions, or events that occurred regularly or frequently or that were in progress in a moment in the past. So we use the verb here as physical description. So:

Carlitos era alto y moreno  

4. Right answer:

1) eran

Eran is the conjugation of the verb ser for the second person plural in the imperfect tense. In Spain, the subject pronoun ustedes is used when addressing a person in formal way. In other Spanish speaking countries we use this subject pronoun both in formal and informal way. Finally:

Uds. eran guapos y rubios

5. Right answer:

sabías

Sabías is the conjugation of the verb saber for the second person singular in the imperfect. This is a negative sentence, so negation is an expression that means no and is used to contradict some or all of the meaning of a positive sentence. Finally, this sentence can be written as follows:

Tú no sabías nada

6. Right answer:  

íbamos  

Íbamos is the conjugation of the verb ir for the first person plural in the imperfect. Recall that the verb ir is one of the three irregular verbs in the imperfect. The other are ser and ver. On the other hand, selva translates into jungle. Finally, we can write this sentence as follows:

Nosotros íbamos a la selva  

7. Right answer:  

iban

Iban is the conjugation of the verb ir for the third person plural in the imperfect. Here this person is ellas and we know that only women went to the jungle because ellas is the subject pronoun that matches the third person plural. On the other hand, jungla translates into jungle.

Ellas iban a la jungla.  

8. Right answer:  

estaba

Estaba is the conjugation of the verb estar for the first person singular in the imperfect. Here we use the verb estar as location, describing where a person was permanently or temporarily. So, in this sentence that person is me, so I was in Mexico. Accordingly, we can write this sentence as follows:

Yo estaba en México.

9. Right answer:  

trabajaba

Trabajaba is the conjugation of the verb trabajar that matches the third person singular in the imperfect. So Gloria can be replaced by the subject pronoun for the third person singular in famine form, which is ella. Finally, Gloria used to work hard in the clothing store. So:  

Gloria trabajaba mucho en la tienda de ropa

10. Right answer:  

miraba

Since we need to use the verb mirar, we'll conjugate it in the imperfect matching the first person singular. Therefore, this conjugation is miraba. Recall that in Spanish it is common not to include the subject pronoun in sentences. Finally, by writing miraba, every one will know that I am the one who used to look at.

11. Right answer:  

estaba

As in exercise 8, we also use the conjugation estaba of the verb estar because this sentence also matches the first person singular. The verb estar is also being used here as location, describing where a person was temporarily in the past. So, in this sentence that person is me, so I was in History class. Accordingly, we can write this sentence as follows:

Yo estaba en la clase de historia

12. Right answer:  

Comíamos

Comíamos is the conjugation of the verb comer for the first person plural in the imperfect. Furthermore, this is a negative sentence. Negation is an expression that means no and is used to contradict some or all of the meaning of a positive sentence. Therefore, we can write this as follows:

Nosotros no comíamos nada

13. Right answer:  

Comía

Comía is the conjugation of the verb comer for the third person singular in the imperfect. On the other hand, oso translates into bear. Therefore, the bear used to eat the green leaves. Most species of bears are omnivorous., that is, they are naturally able to eat both plants and meat. Finally:

El oso comía las hojas verdes
