Answer 2

In this problem, we need to choose the correct conjugation of some verbs in the simple present. In Spanish, the simple present tense (el presente or el presente de indicativo) is used to talk about habitual actions or routines. Therefore, the solution of this problem is as follows:

14. Mi amigo me (dar) la maleta.

The right conjugation is da.

So, da is the conjugation of the verb dar for this sentence. On the other hand, we are using the Direct Object Pronoun for the First-Person Singular me. A Direct Object Pronoun (un pronombre de objeto directo) replaces a direct object, that is a noun that directly receives the action of a verb in a sentence. So, the right sentence is:

Mi amigo me da la maleta (My friend gives me the suitcase)

15. Julio y yo (tocar) la guitarra.

The right conjugation is tocamos.

So, tocamos is the conjugation of the verb tocar for the First-Person Plural (nosotros-we) in the simple present, since Julio y yo can be replaced by the pronoun nosotros. Thus, the right sentence is:

Julio y yo tocamos la guitarra. (Julio and I play the guitar)

16. Silvia (ir) a la piscina para nadar

The right conjugation is va.

So, va is the conjugation of the verb ir for the Third-Person Singular (ella-she) in the simple present, since Silvia can be replaced by the pronoun ella. Thus, the right sentence is:

Silvia va a la piscina para nadar. (Silvia goes to the swimming pool to swim)

17. Ellas (tener) que encontrar la cabina.

The right conjugation is tienen.

So, tienen is the conjugation of the verb tener for the Third-Person Plural (ellas-they) in the simple present. Thus, the right sentence is:

Ellas tienen que encontrar la cabina. (They have to find the cabin)

18. Los pasajeros (venir) del comedor y van a la piscina.

The right conjugation is vienen.

So, vienen is the conjugation of the verb venir for the Third-Person Plural (ellos-they) in the simple present, since Los pasajeros can be replaced by the pronoun ellos. In this way, Los pasajeros implies both men and women. Thus, the right sentence is:

Los pasajeros vienen del comedor y van a la piscina. (The passengers come from the dining room and go to the swimming pool)

19. Tú le (traer) los zapatos a tu hermano.

The right conjugation is traes.

So, traes is the conjugation of the verb traer for this sentence. Here we are using an Indirect Object Pronoun, that is, le for the Third-Person Singular. An Indirect Object Pronoun (un pronombre de objeto indirecto) is a person that receives the action of a verb indirectly. It tells us to whom or for whom something is done So, the right sentence is:

Tú le traes los zapatos a tu hermano. (You bring the shoes to your brother)

20. La Señora Rodríguez y la Señora Jiménez (recibir) cartas de la familia.

The right conjugation is reciben.

So, reciben is the conjugation of the verb recibir for the Third-Person Plural (ellas-they) in the simple present, since La Señora Rodriguez y la Señora Jiménez can be replaced by the pronoun ellas. Thus, the right sentence is:

La Señora Rodríguez y la Señora Jiménez reciben cartas de la familia.  (Mrs. Rodríguez and Mrs. Jiménez receive letters from the family)

21. Paco (querer) ir al Club de Jóvenes.

The right conjugation is quiere.

So, quiere is the conjugation of the verb querer for the Third-Person Singular (él-he) in the simple present, since Paco ca be replaced by the pronoun él. Thus, the right sentence is:

Paco quiere ir al Club de Jóvenes. (Paco wants to go to the Youth Club)

22. Tú (ir) al gimnasio.

The right conjugation is vas.

So, vas is the conjugation of the verb ir for the Second-Person Singular (tú-you) in the simple present. Thus, the right sentence is:

Tú vas al gimnasio. (You go to the gym)

23. Ustedes (dormir) en la cabina.

The right conjugation is duermen.

So, duermen is the conjugation of the verb dormir for the Second-Person Plural (ustedes-you all) in the simple present. Thus, the right sentence is:

Ustedes duermen en la cabina. (You sleep in the cabin.)

24. Los señores (practicar) el tenis.

The right conjugation is practican.

So, practican is the conjugation of the verb practicar for the Third-Person Plural (ellos-they) in the simple present, since Los Señores can be replaced by the pronoun ellos. Thus, the right sentence is:

Los señores practican el tenis. (The gentlemen practice tennis.)

25. Tú (salir) del teatro.

The right conjugation is sales.

So, sales is the conjugation of the verb salir for the Second-Person Singular (tú-you) in the simple present. Thus, the right sentence is:

Tú sales del teatro. (You leave the theater)

25. Yo (leer) la carta.

The right conjugation is leo.
