Read the following paragraph and choose the verb that best replaces the numbered space.
Karolina [17]

We need to fill the blanks with the verb ser or ir matching the corresponding conjugations. All these sentences stands for the imperfect tense. Recall that this tense 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.


<h2>(1) Eran</h2>

Since <em>Anita y Jorge </em>can be replaced by the subject pronoun for the third person plural <em>ellos, </em>then we need to use the conjugation either the verb ir or ser that matches the third person plural in the imperfect. The more logical verb to be used here is ser because they were young. So this conjugation is eran. Therefore:

<em>Cuando Anita y Jorge </em><em>eran</em><em> jóvenes</em>


<h2>(2) Eran</h2>

Here we continue to talk about <em>Anita and Jorge, </em>therefore we must use the verb ser conjugated as in the previous exercise eran. It is also important to say that we use the verb ser to talk about permanent or lasting attributes. In this way, this verb stands for <em>descriptions, occupations, characteristics, time, origin</em> and <em>relationships.</em>

<em>Eran</em><em> muy buenos amigos. </em>


<h2>(3) Iban</h2>

In this problem, we need to use the verb ir because in this sentence <em>Anita and Jorge </em>used to go to school together. Thus, iban is the conjugation of the verb ir for the third person plural in the imperfect. This person is <em>ellos. </em>We use this subject pronoun when talking about masculine nouns or when talking about masculine and feminine nouns as a whole. So:

<em>Ellos </em><em>iban </em><em>a la  escuela juntos</em>


<h2>(4) Iban</h2>

In this problem, we need to use the verb ir because in this sentence <em>Anita and Jorge </em>used to go to eat together. Here we also use the subject pronoun <em>ellos. </em>Therefore, we must use the conjugation that matches this subject pronoun, which is iban. Finally:

<em>Ellos </em><em>iban</em><em> a comer juntos.</em>


<h2>(5) era</h2>

Here we use the verb ser again conjugated as era because we are talking about <em>Anita, </em>that is, this sentence stands for the third person singular in the imperfect. So the verb ser stands for occupation here. Basically, it's what someone does for a living or as a hobby. Finally:

<em>Anita no </em><em>era</em><em> muy buena alumna</em>


<h2>(6) era</h2>

Here we use the verb ser again conjugated as era because we continue to talk about <em>Anita</em>. So this sentence also stands for the third person singular. So the verb ser also stands for occupation here because it describes what <em>Anita </em>used to do being a very good athlete. Finally:

<em>pero  </em><em>era</em><em> muy buena atleta.</em>


<h2>(7) era</h2>

Here we use the verb ser again conjugated as era because we are talking about <em>Jorge</em>. So <em>Jorge </em>can be replaced by the subject pronoun for the third person singular, which is <em>él.</em> So this sentence also stands for the third person singular. Thus, the verb ser also stands for occupation here because it describes what <em>Jorge </em>used to be, that is, he was an excellent student. Finally:

<em>Jorge </em><em>era</em><em> un excelente alumno</em>


<h2>(8) era</h2>

Here we use the verb ser again conjugated as era because we continue to talk about <em>Jorge</em>. So this sentence also stands for the third person singular. Hence the verb ser also stands for occupation here because it describes that <em>Jorge </em>used to be a bad athlete. Finally:

<em>pero no </em><em>era </em><em>buen atleta.</em>
