In this problem, we need to choose the correct conjugation of some verbs in<em> the simple present. </em>In Spanish, the simple present tense<em> </em><em>(el presente or el presente de indicativo) </em>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, <em>da </em>is the conjugation of the verb <em>dar </em>for this sentence. On the other hand, we are using the Direct Object Pronoun for the First-Person Singular <em>me. </em>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:
<em>Mi amigo me </em><em>da </em><em>la maleta (My friend gives me the suitcase)</em>
15. Julio y yo (tocar) la guitarra.
The right conjugation is tocamos.
So, <em>tocamos </em>is the conjugation of the verb <em>tocar </em>for the First-Person Plural (nosotros-we) in the simple present, since <em>Julio y yo </em>can be replaced by the pronoun <em>nosotros.</em> Thus, the right sentence is:
<em>Julio y yo tocamos la guitarra. </em><em>(Julio and I play the guitar)</em>
16. Silvia (ir) a la piscina para nadar
The right conjugation is va.
So, <em>va </em>is the conjugation of the verb <em>ir </em>for the Third-Person Singular (ella-she) in the simple present, since <em>Silvia </em>can be replaced by the pronoun <em>ella.</em> Thus, the right sentence is:
<em>Silvia va a la piscina para nadar. </em><em>(Silvia goes to the swimming pool to swim)</em>
17. Ellas (tener) que encontrar la cabina.
The right conjugation is tienen.
So, <em>tienen </em>is the conjugation of the verb<em> tener </em>for the Third-Person Plural (ellas-they) in the simple present. Thus, the right sentence is:
<em>Ellas tienen que encontrar la cabina. </em><em>(They have to find the cabin)</em>
18. Los pasajeros (venir) del comedor y van a la piscina.
The right conjugation is vienen.
So, <em>vienen </em>is the conjugation of the verb <em>venir </em>for the Third-Person Plural (ellos-they) in the simple present, since <em>Los pasajeros </em>can be replaced by the pronoun <em>ellos. </em>In this way,<em> Los pasajeros </em>implies both men and women. Thus, the right sentence is:
<em>Los pasajeros vienen del comedor y van a la piscina. </em><em>(The passengers come from the dining room and go to the swimming pool)</em>
19. Tú le (traer) los zapatos a tu hermano.
The right conjugation is traes.
So, <em>traes </em>is the conjugation of the verb <em>traer </em>for this sentence. Here we are using an Indirect Object Pronoun, that is, <em>le </em>for the Third-Person Singular<em>. </em>An Indirect Object Pronoun (un pronombre de objeto indirecto) is a person that receives the action of a verb indirectly. It tells us <em>to whom</em> or<em> for whom </em>something is done So, the right sentence is:
<em> Tú le traes los zapatos a tu hermano.</em> <em>(You bring the shoes to your brother)</em>
20. La Señora Rodríguez y la Señora Jiménez (recibir) cartas de la familia.
The right conjugation is reciben.
So, <em>reciben </em>is the conjugation of the verb<em> recibir </em>for the Third-Person Plural (ellas-they) in the simple present, since <em>La Señora Rodriguez</em> <em>y la Señora Jiménez </em>can be replaced by the pronoun <em>ellas.</em> Thus, the right sentence is:
<em>La Señora Rodríguez y la Señora Jiménez reciben cartas de la familia. </em><em>(Mrs. Rodríguez and Mrs. Jiménez receive letters from the family)</em>
21. Paco (querer) ir al Club de Jóvenes.
The right conjugation is quiere.
So, <em>quiere </em>is the conjugation of the verb<em> querer </em>for the Third-Person Singular (él-he) in the simple present, since <em>Paco </em>ca be replaced by the pronoun <em>él. </em>Thus, the right sentence is:
<em>Paco quiere ir al Club de Jóvenes. </em><em>(Paco wants to go to the Youth Club)</em>
22. Tú (ir) al gimnasio.
The right conjugation is vas.
So, <em>vas </em>is the conjugation of the verb<em> ir </em>for the Second-Person Singular (tú-you) in the simple present. Thus, the right sentence is:
<em>Tú vas al gimnasio. </em><em>(You go to the gym)</em>
23. Ustedes (dormir) en la cabina.
The right conjugation is duermen.
