<h2>1. Right answer:</h2><h3>puse</h3><h3 />
The preterite tense is one of two simple past tenses. It is used to describe actions that took place or were completed at a certain point in the past. To establish a sentence in the preterite tense, we need to conjugate the verb of the sentence correctly. This sentence stands for the verb poner which is an irregular verb. So the conjugation of this verb for the first person singular in the preterite is puse. So:
<em>Yo </em><em>puse </em><em>las maletas en mi habitación</em>
<h2>2. Right answer:</h2><h3>estuve</h3><h3 />
Here we use the verb estar. This verb is used to indicate temporary states and locations. In this way, this verb stands for <em>position, location, action, condition, and emotion. </em>Here it is being used as location, describing where a person was temporarily. So estuve is the conjugation of the verb estar for the first person singular in the preterite. Finally:
<em>Yo </em><em>estuve</em><em> en la tienda</em>
<h2>3. Right answer:</h2><h3>tuvo</h3><h3 />
Here we use the verb tener. This is an important verb in Spanish that translates into <em>to have. </em>Hence tuvo is the conjugation of the verb tener for the third person singular in the preterite. Also, it is important to say that we use the word <em>no </em>in this question expecting to get a negative answer as well. Finally:
<em>¿Ella no </em><em>tuvo</em><em> que ir al trabajo?</em>
<h2>4. Right answer:</h2><h3>puso</h3><h3 />
Here we use the verb poner as well. Here the conjugation we need to use must match the third person singular because <em>Reinaldo </em>can be replaced by <em>él </em>which is the subject pronoun for the third person singular in masculine form. So this conjugation is puso. Recall that for irregular verbs, you need to learn by heart each conjugation.
<em>Reinaldo </em><em>puso</em><em> la carta en el sobre</em>
<h2>5. Right answer:</h2><h3>supieron</h3><h3 />
Here we use the verb saber. This is an irregular verb and the conjugation we need to use must match the second person plural (ustedes). For this verb, you also need to learn by heart each conjugation. Therefore, supieron is the conjugation of this verb for the second person plural in the preterite. Finally:
<em>Ustedes </em><em>supieron</em><em> que Marta tuvo un accidente</em>
<h2>6. Right answer:</h2><h3>supiste</h3><h3 />
Here we also use the verb saber. As we said above, we need to learn by heart each conjugation of this verb. Therefore, the conjugation of the verb saber for the second person singular in the preterite is supiste. Finally, we can establish this sentence as follows:
<em>Tú </em><em>supiste</em><em> la verdad anoche</em>
<h2>7. Right answer:</h2><h3>anduvo</h3><h3 />
Here we use the verb andar. Since this is an irregular verb, you need to learn by heart each conjugation. This sentence stands for the third person singular, that is, <em>Carlos </em>can be replaced by the subject pronoun <em>él. </em>To match this person, we use the conjugation anduvo. Therefore:
<em>Carlos </em><em>anduvo</em><em> al parque</em>
<h2>8. Right answer:</h2><h3>estuvo</h3><h3 />
Here we also use the verb estar. Since this sentence stands for the third person singular, that is, <em>Armando </em>can be replaced by the subject pronoun for the third person singular in feminine form <em>él, </em>then the corresponding conjugation of the verb estar for this person is estuvo. Finally:
<em>
</em>
<em>Armando </em><em>estuvo</em><em> en la piscina todo el día</em>
